Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, was recently spotted arriving at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, where veteran screenwriter Salim Khan is undergoing treatment, drawing the attention of fans and social media alike.

A video circulating online shows Aryan stepping out of his vehicle, dressed simply in a grey T-shirt and cap, flanked by security, quietly checking in on the 90-year-old screenwriter’s condition.

Salim Khan, a towering figure in Hindi cinema and the father of Salman Khan, was rushed to the hospital on February 17, 2026, after feeling giddy. Initial reports suggested he was stable but under observation.

However, his condition recently required ventilator support following the discovery of a blood clot linked to high blood pressure. According to Filmfare, he is scheduled for an operation the following morning, and his treating doctor, Dr Jalil Parker, told PTI that further updates would be shared at 11 am in a press briefing, emphasising patient confidentiality. “He is stable but is under close observation regarding his clinical status,” Dr Parker said.

The hospital has seen a steady stream of Salim Khan’s family, reflecting the close-knit bonds he shares with his loved ones.

Alongside Salman Khan, his wife Salma and iconic actress Helen were present, while his daughter Alvira, sons-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Aayush Sharma, and grandsons Nirvaan and Arhaan also visited, offering support during the tense moments.
