Actor Salman Khan recently left his fans shocked when he shared updates about his health. The actor recently appeared on the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix and revealed that he is battling not one, but three major neurological conditions – brain aneurysm, trigeminal neuralgia, and arteriovenous (AV) malformation.
Speaking on the show, Salman Khan said, “I’m out here breaking my bones every day – ribs are fractured, I’m working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there is an aneurysm in the brain, yet I’m still working. There’s also an AV malformation, and still, I’m carrying on."
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain disorder characterised by sudden, intense, shock-like pain on one side of the face. On the other hand, arteriovenous (AV) malformation is a condition involving an abnormal cluster of blood vessels that disrupts normal connections between arteries and veins. While AV malformations most commonly affect the brain and spinal cord, they can also occur in other parts of the body. Brain aneurysms, though relatively common, are another serious condition. If left untreated, a ruptured aneurysm can lead to life-threatening complications.
