According to sources, the 90-year-old was admitted to Lilavati Hospital on Tuesday morning and is currently under observation in the ICU. Doctors are conducting medical tests to assess his condition, and the family is closely monitoring his recovery.

Actor Salman Khan was seen visiting the hospital to be by his father’s side. Though he avoided interacting with the media, his presence reassured fans. Salim Khan’s son-in-law Atul Agnihotri also arrived at the hospital shortly after, reflecting the family’s support during this time.
