Renowned screenwriter Salim Khan has been hospitalized in Mumbai and is currently receiving intensive medical care. The 90-year-old writer, famously known as the father of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, is under close observation by medical professionals.
Reports indicate that Khan was admitted to Lilavati Hospital earlier in the day and is undergoing treatment. Though the specific details of his medical condition have not been disclosed, sources have confirmed that he is being closely monitored in the Intensive Care Unit.
Salim Khan is widely acclaimed for his contributions to iconic Hindi films of the 1970s, such as Sholay, Deewaar, and Trishul. Collaborating with renowned lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar, the duo, known as Salim-Javed, brought a significant transformation to mainstream Hindi cinema.
The duo is praised for introducing the influential “angry young man” character, famously portrayed on screen by superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Their narratives added a new depth to commercial cinema, fusing action, drama, and societal messages.
Even after parting ways professionally with Javed Akhtar, Salim Khan continued to make noteworthy contributions to Indian cinema, solidifying his status as one of the industry’s esteemed storytellers.
Further updates on his health condition are eagerly anticipated.
