Salman Khan has always been candid about the highs and lows of his life, but during the premiere of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3, the superstar made a surprising revelation that has left fans both shocked and concerned.
During his appearance on the show, Khan shared that he has been quietly battling a brain aneurysm — a medical condition involving the blood vessels in the brain. Not stopping there, he also mentioned being diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia and arteriovenous (AV) malformation, both rare neurological disorders.
The actor spoke about these health issues in a matter-of-fact manner, choosing not to dwell on them emotionally, but the weight of his words was not lost on the audience. Known for his resilience and enduring screen presence, Khan’s revelation offered a rare glimpse into the personal struggles he has been facing behind the scenes.
For context, a brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. While some remain undetected and cause no symptoms, others can rupture and lead to life-threatening complications. Trigeminal neuralgia, on the other hand, is a chronic condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain, while AV malformation refers to an abnormal tangle of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, often in the brain or spine.
Though he didn’t go into medical details or how it’s affecting his current work, Khan’s calm disclosure was enough to set social media abuzz, with fans expressing admiration for his strength and sending messages of support.
Despite these challenges, the actor continues to stay active in his career, juggling films, hosting duties, and various public appearances with trademark energy — once again proving that the man behind the superstar is as tough as they come.
