Salim Khan discharged after over a month in hospital, recovery continues

Salim Khan, veteran screenwriter, who was hospitalised in Mumbai last month after suffering a 'minimal' brain haemorrhage, was discharged on Tuesday, March 17, sources said. The 90-year-old screenwriter, one half of the iconic Salim-Javed duo, known for films like Sholay, Deewar and Don with Javed Akhtar, had been admitted to the ICU of Lilavati Hospital in Bandra on February 17.

A day after Salim Khan's admission, doctors had confirmed that he had suffered a 'minimal' brain



haemorrhage, which was treated. He was placed on ventilator support as a precautionary measure.

“He has been discharged. The discharge process has been completed, but he is still in the hospital,” a source told PTI on Tuesday.

During his hospital stay, his children - Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Alvira and Arpita - along with sons-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Aayush Sharma, visited him regularly. His long-time collaborator Javed Akhtar also visited him.
