Salman Khan’s father and legendary screenwriter Salim Khan has been steadily recovering after facing a health scare earlier this year. The veteran writer is now back home and reportedly doing much better. On May 6, 2026, fans received a positive update about his health after trade analyst Komal Nahta visited him at his Mumbai residence.
Salim Khan recovering gradually
After weeks of concern among fans and the Khan family, there is finally some reassuring news regarding Salim Khan’s health. Sharing an update on X (formerly Twitter), Komal Nahta revealed that he recently spent time with the veteran writer at his home in Mumbai.
Posting a picture with Salim Khan, Nahta wrote, “Was delighted to meet Salim Khan saab yesterday at his residence, with friend Raja Shetiya. The veteran writer is recovering slowly but surely after his 28-day hospitalisation in February-March. Thank you, Dr. Sandeep Chopra, for making this meeting possible.”
The update quickly gained attention online, with fans pouring in heartfelt wishes for the iconic writer’s speedy recovery. One user commented, “Glad to hear that Salim Khan Saab is recovering,” while another wrote that it was reassuring to know he was improving steadily after such a serious health episode.
For those unaware, the co-writer of Sholay was admitted to the hospital in February 2026 after reportedly suffering a minor brain haemorrhage. Following a medical procedure, the 90-year-old was kept on ventilator support in the ICU as a precaution. Fortunately, his condition stabilized within days, allowing doctors to remove the ventilator. He was later discharged in March and made his first public appearance post-hospitalization during Eid celebrations earlier this year.
