Sanjay Dutt visits ailing Salim Khan in hospital

Sanjay Dutt visited Salim Khan at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on Tuesday. The 90-year-old influential figure in Hindi cinema was admitted to the hospital earlier that morning and is currently in the intensive care unit. Dutt, known for his close bond with the Khan family, spent approximately 30 minutes at the hospital.

Salim Khan, a celebrated screenwriter who, with Javed Akhtar, penned iconic films like Sholay, Zanjeer, and Deewaar, has garnered significant concern from the film industry. His family, including Salman Khan, his mother Salma Khan, Helen, and other siblings, have been consistently present at the hospital, demonstrating their unwavering support during this time.

The family has largely remained private regarding Salim Khan's condition, with no official statement released by the hospital or relatives as of February 18, 2026. However, a statement was expected to be released today, February 18, 2026, at 11 am. Salim Khan's legacy includes popularizing the 'Angry Young Man' archetype in Indian cinema.
