I couldn’t meet him personally, but sat with the family.”
Sharing what he knows about Khan’s health, Aamir said, “Jo mujhe Alvira ji bata rahi hai, har roz ki unki health improve ho rahi hai.

About Salim Khan’s health
The veteran screenwriter was admitted by his family doctor after his blood pressure soared and he suffered a brain haemorrhage. He was also put on a ventilator to ensure his condition did not worsen. Confirming the same, doctors said, “He was having jerks, and his blood pressure was high. We treated him. We had to put him on a ventilator so that his condition does not worsen. It wasn’t because he was critical. We conducted the required investigations. Today, we performed a small procedure on him. The procedure is called DSA (digital subtraction angiography).”

His long-time writing partner Javed Akhtar and several politicians were also seen visiting.
