Bollywood actor Salman Khan has revealed that he is battling multiple serious health conditions, including a brain aneurysm, trigeminal neuralgia, and arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The disclosure came during his appearance on the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, where he spoke candidly about the toll his health has taken over the years.
The 58-year-old actor, who was the inaugural guest of the new season, shared that he has endured years of physical strain, saying, “My bones break every day. My ribs are fractured. I have trigeminal neuralgia, a brain aneurysm, and an arteriovenous malformation. Yet, I continue to work.” His comments have raised concerns among fans and industry insiders alike.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve in the face, while arteriovenous malformation is a rare condition involving an abnormal connection between arteries and veins. A brain aneurysm, which Salman also confirmed he has, occurs when a blood vessel in the brain weakens and balloons outward. If ruptured, it can cause life-threatening bleeding in the brain, known as a hemorrhagic stroke.
The actor’s revelations have led to widespread discussions on social media, with fans expressing admiration for his resilience and concern for his well-being. Health experts note that continuing to work while managing such conditions requires exceptional determination and careful medical supervision.
Despite his health issues, Salman Khan continues to remain active in the film industry, with several high-profile projects in the pipeline. His statement has brought renewed attention to health struggles faced by public figures and has underscored the importance of awareness around neurological disorders.
