In a surprising turn of events on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Bollywood icon Salman Khan pulled back the curtain on his private health battles, leaving audiences stunned by his vulnerability.

Known for his larger-than-life screen presence and unmatched charisma, Salman appeared on the popular comedy talk show expecting to bring laughter. Instead, the episode took an emotional detour as the actor spoke openly about a series of serious medical conditions he has endured quietly over the years.

The 58-year-old star revealed that he has been dealing with a brain aneurysm, trigeminal neuralgia—a chronic pain condition affecting the facial nerves—and an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). On top of these life-threatening issues, he also disclosed that he has worked through fractured ribs, often continuing to shoot physically demanding action scenes despite the pain.

Salman’s unexpected candor struck a chord with viewers. Known as the industry’s tireless workhorse, his admission highlighted a more human side to the superstar rarely seen in public.

When asked about his single status and thoughts on marriage, the actor mixed humor with honesty. While he joked about valuing his solitude, he also hinted at the emotional risks involved in opening up to someone at this stage of life.

“Imagine if she decides to leave and takes half of everything with her,” he said with a wry smile. “I wouldn’t have the strength to start from scratch again.”

The moment offered fans a rare glimpse beneath Salman’s resilient public persona—a reminder that even icons face internal battles that fame cannot shield them from.

Despite his health issues, Salman emphasized one core philosophy that keeps him going:
“The show must go on.”

In an industry obsessed with appearances and perfection, Salman Khan’s raw honesty came as a powerful statement on perseverance, courage, and the cost of stardom.
