Her presence has been a comforting factor for the Khan family amid this challenging time.
According to Lilavati Hospital, Salim Khan’s condition is now stable. He is responding well to the treatment and is under close medical care. Doctors have confirmed that his health is improving steadily.
The photos in her post was a black-and-white classic featuring Salim Khan and Amitabh Bachchan fondly known as Big B. The two collaborated on some of Hindi cinema’s most celebrated milestones, and the picture captures a younger era of filmmaking glory. The image continues to connect with fans who associate the duo with the golden age of Hindi screenwriting and acting partnerships.
Pancholi said, "Their Galaxy house was always open. Anyone who wanted to come, could come. No lock, always open. You could just push it anytime and walk right in. Whenever you wanted. You could open their fridge and eat whatever you want. I didn’t do that, of course. You want their protein shake to drink? You want their vitamins or heat up their leftover biryani? No one’s gonna say no."
In 2025 Arhaan posted a cheerful carousel of pictures from a relaxing getaway with friends.
Among the travel memories Arhaan included an old photograph of Salman Khan with his father.

The throwback image showed Salman Khan smiling widely as he posed beside his father. Salim Khan appeared visibly younger and in high spirits and the fans described the picture as “heartwarming” and “a nostalgic treat.”
The Salim-Javed duo remains one of the most celebrated writer partnerships in Bollywood history. Their collaboration helped writers gain recognition and respect in the film industry. After years of success, the two decided to part ways, a move that startled the Hindi entertainment world. Despite this, they have always maintained mutual respect. Amazon Prime Video’s 2024 docu-series ‘Angry Young Men’ highlighted their remarkable journey and bond, though Javed Akhtar had already clarified long ago that their separation was amicable.
Earlier, in an interview with Doordarshan, Javed Akhtar spoke about his separation from Salim Sahab, saying that they always had immense trust in each other. He explained, “I believe when two people work together, they sometimes tend to grow apart. They have their own circle, their own and different experiences and that moulds one's mindset, which can be different from the other person. Like for example, two brothers who grow up in the same house and atmosphere can grow apart. And when this happens, there should be no shame in accepting that things have changed. Hence, when two people, who come together one day, decide to go on separate ways, it shouldn't be seen in a bad light.”
In the interview, Salim remembered the day when Javed talked about separation from him and said, “One day, I was working in the evening. He (Javed) told me that 'I wanted to separate'. So I really felt that I didn't listen properly. He said, 'I want to do different work'. I told him that he would not have thought of this five minutes ago. So he said that he had been thinking for some time. I got up, shook hands, and went towards my car, which was parked outside. He started coming to the car. Then I turned my car towards the house and said, 'I can take care of myself'”.
Salim Khan played a key role in shaping Hindi cinema’s golden era, co-writing unforgettable films like ‘Sholay’, ‘Zanjeer’, and ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’ with Javed Akhtar. His stories have influenced generations, yet despite his unmatched contribution and son Salman Khan’s massive fame, he never wrote a film for his own son.
The veteran writer highlighted the professional risks of collaborating with his son. As reported in India.com, he said, “Aur fir agar Salman Khan ke saath banata rahu toh ek bohot badi risk hai. Hit ho gayi toh unki hai, flop ho gayi toh daddy ki thi (And then if I continue to work with Salman Khan, it comes with a big risk. If it became a hit, it was his film; if it became a flop, it was Daddy’s.”
The Salim Khan family is one of the most influential families in Bollywood. It begins with the legendary screenwriter Salim Khan, who first married Sushila Charak, now Salma Khan in 1964.

The couple was blessed with a baby girl on October 5, 2025, named Sipaara Khan. Sohail Khan was married to Seema Sajdeh and has two sons, Nirvan and Yohan. Alvira Khan is married to filmmaker Atul Agnihotri, while Arpita Khan is married to actor Aayush Sharma. Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma have a son named Ahil and a daughter named Ayat .
The entire family lives closely together at Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai, celebrating all festivals with love and unity.
Bollywood fans are worried after hearing that veteran writer Salim Khan has been admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, with reports saying his condition is serious. The legendary writer, who shaped many famous Hindi films and is a loving father to Salman Khan, has received prayers and concern from fans. People have been remembering sweet moments between the two, especially Salman’s Father’s Day post from 2015.
Salman shared a shirtless picture of himself with his brother Sohail Khan and their father Salim Khan, captioned, “My dad strongest. Salim khan(dullu) urff prince Saleem the original bajrangi bhaijaan, happy father's day daddy.”
Actor Sanjay Dutt, a close friend of Salman Khan, paid a late-night visit to veteran screenwriter Salim Khan at Lilavati Hospital on Tuesday. Sanjay Dutt was seen arriving at the hospital premises wearing a beige printed shirt.
She wrote, “Hearing that Salim Khan has been hospitalized made my heart sink. To the world, he is a legendary writer who helped shape icons like Amitabh Bachchan and co-created masterpieces like Sholay. To me, he was a father figure. Living in his home, I was treated like a daughter, included at the table, engaged in deep conversations about faith, where all religions were respected and celebrated. He taught me that God is bigger than doctrine, and that storytelling must always carry truth beneath the drama. His brilliance built cinematic history. His humanity built people. Praying for his strength and recovery. He means more to me than words can say.”
