Appearing fit and in high spirits as the first guest on the new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, Salman Khan quickly dismissed any speculation about his health. However, behind the superstar`s tough exterior lies a painful reality. The actor opened up about his ongoing struggle with multiple serious medical conditions, revealing a vulnerability seldom seen by his millions of fans.
"Hum ye jo daily ki haddiyan tudwa rahe hain, pasliyan toot gai, trigeminal neuralgia ke sath kaam kar rahe hain, aneurysm hai brain mein uske bawajood kaam kar rahe hain. AV malformation hai, uske bawajood chal rahe hain (I`m out here breaking my bones every day – ribs are fractured, I`m working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there`s an aneurysm in the brain, yet I`m still working. There`s also an AV malformation, and still, I`m carrying on)," he revealed.
He further explained his fears, adding, "Aur jahan unka mood satka, woh aadha humara leke chala gaya. Ye younger age mein hota toh theek tha, phirse kama lete. Ab wapis se... (And the moment their mood soured, they will take away half of what I had. Had this happened when I was younger, it would`ve been fine – I could`ve earned it all back. But now, starting over again...)"

On the show, he disclosed even more, confirming he also has a brain aneurysm and an arteriovenous malformation (AVM).

Despite these severe conditions, Salman Khan continues to perform demanding action sequences and maintain his rigorous work schedule, showcasing a resilience that goes far beyond his on-screen personas.
