The 90-year-old writer, one half of the iconic Salim–Javed duo alongside Javed Akhtar, is on ventilator support as a precautionary measure. Doctors clarified that the ventilator was used to facilitate certain medical investigations and to prevent any complications, stressing that he is not in critical condition.
Dr Jalil Parkar, who is part of the treating team, said Khan’s high blood pressure was managed promptly. He also confirmed that a diagnostic procedure known as DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) was successfully performed. “The procedure has been accomplished, he is stable and back in the ICU. We expect to remove ventilator support by tomorrow. Overall, he is doing quite well,” the doctor said.
He added that the haemorrhage was minor and has been addressed, with no surgery required at this stage. However, doctors cautioned that recovery may take time considering his age.
Family members, including actor Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, daughter Alvira Khan, and sons-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Aayush Sharma, were seen visiting the hospital. Javed Akhtar also visited his long-time creative partner.
