Salman Khan: My Fitness Struggles and Fan Loyalty

Salman Khan, who recently turned 60, has candidly spoken about recent health complications and injuries that affected his fitness. He confessed to feeling that he had let down his numerous fans who have admired his physique for decades. Khan shared these insights during a conversation on the show Koffee With Karan.

He explained that despite personal struggles with his physicality, he should not have let his fitness slide due to the inspiration he provides. Fans who grew up watching him now point to his example for their own children. Khan stated that he aims to regain his fitness, feeling it was unfair to his admirers to appear less than his best.

Recounting his medical issues, Khan traced several back to injuries sustained during the filming of his 2016 movie 'Sultan.' These included significant problems with his knee, back, and shoulder, alongside other health complications like trigeminal neuralgia and an aneurysm. He stressed that these issues do not justify his past physical condition.

Khan also revealed that negative online comments serve as motivation rather than discouragement. He harnesses this energy to drive himself towards improving his physical health, promising that his fans will see a better physique in the future.
