He remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Hindi cinema, with a career spanning decades and generations of filmmakers and actors.

His son, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan , was seen outside the hospital premises, drawing attention from media and fans alike. Several fans and well-wishers have since taken to social media to convey their prayers and good wishes for the veteran writer’s speedy recovery.

Salim Khan’s contribution to Hindi cinema, particularly the golden era of the 1970s and 1980s, is widely recognised, with films like Sholay and Deewar often cited as benchmarks for storytelling and screenplay in Indian cinema.

The hospital authorities have not released any official statement regarding his health. Fans of Salim Khan and the film fraternity continue to hope for his quick recovery.
