Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has once again sparked headlines — this time not for his trademark wit or upcoming releases, but for an honest revelation about his ongoing health battles. Appearing on The Great Indian Kapil Show, the actor candidly spoke about the physical toll years of action cinema have taken on him, revealing a series of serious medical conditions he continues to work through.
In a moment that took fans and even host Kapil Sharma by surprise, Salman Khan said, “So hum ye jitni bhi haddiyan tudva rahe hai, pasliyan toot gayi, trigeminal neuralgia tha uske bawajud kaam kare, aneurysm hai brain mein uske bawajud kaam kar rahe hai, AV malformations hai, uske bawajud chal rahe hai… Action, yaha se kudna, waha se girna, chalne ko nahi ho raha, dance kar rahe hai… ye sab chal raha hai… aur jaha unka mood satka, woh aadha humara le kar chala gaya. (We’ve been breaking bones, my ribs are fractured, I had trigeminal neuralgia but kept working, I have a brain aneurysm and yet continue, I have AV malformations and I’m still going… Action scenes, jumping from here, falling there — even when I can’t walk, I dance… All of this is happening — and the day my mood snapped, it took half of me with it)”
The revelation gave fans a glimpse into the immense physical hardship Salman has endured while continuing to work on high-octane films, often packed with action and dance sequences. Despite the gravity of his conditions — including trigeminal neuralgia (a chronic pain condition), brain aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) — the actor emphasized his commitment to his craft.
This isn’t the first time Salman’s candid moments on the show have gone viral. As reported earlier by Bollywood Hungama, the actor previously made headlines for his tongue-in-cheek comments on marriage and divorce, saying: “Shaadi aur divorce dono hi nahi hue… inke wajah se kaafi paise bach gaye (I am neither married nor divorced, so saved a lot of money there).”
With each appearance, Salman Khan continues to balance humour, vulnerability, and stardom — making his episodes on The Great Indian Kapil Show a trending staple for fans and viewers alike.
