Salman Khan and family displeased after hospital shares update on Salim Khan’s health: Report
The Khan family has expressed strong displeasure after a medical update about Salim Khan was shared publicly. Reports indicate that Salman Khan and his family were unhappy with the hospital’s decision to comment on the veteran screenwriter’s condition, and have since instructed authorities to maintain complete confidentiality.
Salim Khan was admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, following a minor brain haemorrhage. Dr Jalil Parkar, who is overseeing his treatment, had informed the media that the 90-year-old was stable but on ventilator support. The statement, however, did not go down well with the family.
“Health is a private matter. Ideally, no updates should be shared with the media and any communication should be left entirely to the family, if and when they choose to address fans and well-wishers,” the insider said.
The insider further added, “Salman and his family were displeased with the doctor’s public statement and have clearly conveyed to the authorities that they do not want any further details disclosed.”
While there is significant public interest in Salim Khan’s health, the family is reportedly keen to avoid speculation and unnecessary media scrutiny. Any official update, if at all, will now come directly from the Khans.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
