Salman Khan’s sister, Alvira Khan Agnihotri, was seen arriving at the hospital separately to meet her ailing father. The superstar was spotted wearing a black T-shirt and pants, looking visibly concerned while maintaining tight security outside the premises. The security presence has been heightened amid recent threats to celebrities from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Following Salman, Atul Agnihotri also arrived at Lilavati Hospital. Paparazzo Viral Bhayani shared videos of the hospital visit on Instagram, highlighting the tense atmosphere and the family’s serious concern for Salim Khan’s health.

Salim Khan, one half of the legendary Salim-Javed duo, is celebrated for shaping Bollywood storytelling during the 1970s and 1980s with iconic films such as Sholay, Zanjeer, Deewaar, Don, and Trishul. His work helped launch Amitabh Bachchan into superstardom and left a lasting cultural impact. Last November, Salim Khan and wife Salma Khan celebrated 61 years of marriage in a grand family event, which coincided with the anniversaries of Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma. The actor and screenwriter’s hospitalization has triggered an outpouring of concern and prayers from fans across India, hoping for his speedy recovery.
