Renowned scriptwriter Salim Khan has been hospitalized in Mumbai and is presently receiving intensive medical attention. The 90-year-old writer, famously known as the father of Bollywood icon Salman Khan, is under close observation by medical professionals.
Reports indicate that Khan was admitted earlier today and is undergoing treatment at Lilavati Hospital. Although the specific details of his medical ailment have not been disclosed, sources have confirmed that he is under rigorous medical care in the Intensive Care Unit.
Salim Khan is widely acclaimed for his contributions to some of the most legendary Hindi films of the 1970s, such as Sholay, Deewaar, and Trishul. Teaming up with the renowned lyricist and scriptwriter Javed Akhtar, the duo, recognized as Salim-Javed, brought a transformative wave to mainstream Hindi cinema.
The duo is acknowledged for introducing the impactful “angry young man” archetype, later epitomized on screen by superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Their narrative style infused a fresh vigor into commercial cinema, seamlessly combining action, drama, and societal elements.
Following his professional separation from Javed Akhtar, Salim Khan continued to make significant contributions to Indian cinema, further solidifying his standing as one of the industry’s master storytellers.
Further updates on his health condition are eagerly anticipated.
