In a candid and startling revelation that has sent ripples through Bollywood and garnered widespread concern, superstar Salman Khan has disclosed that he is battling multiple serious neurological conditions, including a brain aneurysm and an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The actor, known for his larger-than-life persona and action-packed roles, shared this intensely personal health update during a recent appearance on "The Great Indian Kapil Show," underscoring his remarkable dedication with the statement, "Even after this, I'm still working."

Salman Khan's disclosure sheds light on the immense physical challenges he has been quietly enduring, adding to his previously known struggle with Trigeminal Neuralgia, a chronic pain condition he has spoken about in the past and for which he underwent surgery in 2011.

Understanding the Conditions:

Brain Aneurysm: 

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain, often described as a weak spot in the arterial wall. While many small aneurysms remain asymptomatic, a ruptured aneurysm can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, a life-threatening condition. Symptoms of a ruptured aneurysm include sudden, severe headaches, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness. Even unruptured aneurysms can cause symptoms if they press on surrounding brain tissue or nerves.

Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM):

An AVM is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels that directly connects arteries and veins, bypassing the normal capillary system. This disruption can lead to a sudden gush of high-pressure blood flow, which can strain the weaker vein walls and potentially lead to bleeding in the brain. AVMs can cause headaches, seizures, muscle weakness, speech problems, and in severe cases, brain hemorrhage or stroke. They are often congenital but may not present symptoms until later in life.

  • A History of Silent Battle:

    While Salman Khan has publicly addressed his Trigeminal Neuralgia diagnosis, often referred to as the "suicide disease" due to its excruciating pain, the revelation of a brain aneurysm and AVM adds a new dimension to his health struggles. Sources indicate that he made a fleeting comment about these conditions on Kapil Sharma's show, stating, "I'm out here breaking my bones every day - ribs are fractured, I'm working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there's an aneurysm in the brain, yet I'm still working. There is also an AV malformation, and still, I'm carrying on."

    This statement not only highlights the severity of his ailments but also offers a glimpse into the immense physical toll his demanding career has taken. It also puts into perspective earlier speculation about his health, particularly after a viral clip in early 2024 showed him appearing fatigued.

    Salman Khan's decision to go public with these diagnoses has been met with an outpouring of support and admiration from fans and colleagues alike. His continued dedication to his craft, despite battling such serious and potentially life-threatening conditions, serves as a powerful testament to his resilience and commitment.
