Salman Khan casually reveals he has brain aneurysm, AV malformation: ‘Iske bawajood kaam kar rahe hain'

Salman Khan made a roaring comeback on The Great Indian Kapil Show on Saturday, becoming the new season's first guest. Beating all rumours of an unfit look, Salman looked the most fit he's looked in months; however, he is still suffering from severe health issues. Salman Khan will be the first guest on the new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show.
During the episode, Salman spoke very casually about all the diseases and struggles he's living with. He was asked about getting married by host Kapil Sharma, when the actor spoke about how hard it is to build wealth and how easily a woman might take it all with her after a divorce. He said that he is working at 59 years old despite many health issues and doesn't have it in him to start from scratch anymore, in case the 'wife' decides to take 'half his money.'
'Hum ye jo daily ki haddiyan tudwa rahe hain, pasliyan toot gai, trigeminal neuralgia ke sath kaam kar rahe hain, aneurysm hai brain mein uske bawajood kaam kar rahe hain. AV malformation hai, uske bawajood chal rahe hain (I'm out here breaking my bones every day — ribs are fractured, I'm working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there's an aneurysm in the brain, yet I'm still working. There's also an AV malformation, and still, I'm carrying on),' he said.
'All of this is going on in my life. Aur jahan unka mood satka, woh aadha humara leke chala gaya. Ye younger age mein hota toh theek tha, phirse kama lete. Ab wapis se… (And the moment their mood soured, they will take away half of what I had. Had this happened when I was younger, it would've been fine — I could've earned it all back. But now, starting over again…)'
Salman has previously spoken about trigeminal neuralgia at a Dubai event for his movie Tubelight in 2017. He said that he was suffering from a painful facial nerve disorder, also called the suicide disease because many patients develop suicidal tendencies. What is trigeminal neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic nerve condition causing sudden, severe facial pain, often described as electric shock-like. It affects the trigeminal nerve, which transmits sensations from the face to the brain. Pain typically occurs on one side of the face—around the jaw, cheek, or eye—and can be triggered by simple actions like brushing teeth, chewing, or even wind. What is brain aneurysm?
A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain caused by a weakened vessel wall. It often develops silently and may not show symptoms unless it ruptures. A ruptured aneurysm leads to bleeding in the brain, called a hemorrhagic stroke, which can be life-threatening. What is AV malformation?
An arteriovenous malformation (AV malformation or AVM) is a rare defect in the connection between arteries and veins, usually in the brain or spine. In a normal system, arteries carry blood to tissues and veins carry it back. In an AVM, this network is tangled, and blood flows directly from arteries to veins, bypassing capillaries. This can cause bleeding, seizures, headaches, or neurological issues. AVMs are often congenital and may not show symptoms until a rupture occurs, which can be dangerous.

Salman Khan says he's suffering from a brain aneurysm, AVM and trigeminal neuralgia: What are these conditions?

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan confessed he is battling multiple serious health issues during his appearance on Netflix's 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'. The actor said he continues to work despite struggling with neurological disorders. Here's what we know about these conditions, some of which are lesser-known read more Salman Khan made revelations about his health during his appearance on the first episode of Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show. File image/PTI In a shocking revelation, Bollywood's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' Salman Khan said that he is battling three serious medical conditions — brain aneurysm, AV malformation, and trigeminal neuralgia. The 59-year-old legendary actor made this revelation during his appearance on the first episode of Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show, casually mentioning these conditions while speaking to comedian and host Kapil Sharma. 'Hum ye jo daily ki haddiyan tudwa rahe hain, pasliyan toot gai, trigeminal neuralgia ke sath kaam kar rahe hain, aneurysm hai brain mein uske bawajood kaam kar rahe hain.

A brain aneurysm, also known as a cerebral aneurysm, is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. According to the US' National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), it occurs when a weak spot in the artery wall balloons out and fills with blood. Experts at the Mayo Clinic explain that this happens when the force of blood flowing through the vessel puts constant pressure on the weakened section of the wall, causing it to expand over time. If the aneurysm continues to grow and eventually leaks or ruptures, it can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition involving bleeding in the brain. Aneurysms can form in arteries anywhere in the body, including the heart, brain, abdomen, or legs, and are often linked to conditions like high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, or inherited traits.

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare but serious condition where a tangled web of abnormal blood vessels forms in the brain, disrupting the normal flow of blood between arteries and veins. Under typical conditions, arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the brain, and veins return oxygen-depleted blood back to the lungs and heart. But in the case of an AVM, this process is bypassed due to the abnormal connection, causing high-pressure arterial blood to flow directly into veins, which are not built to handle it. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare but serious condition where a tangled web of abnormal blood vessels forms in the brain, disrupting the normal flow of blood between arteries and veins. Image courtesy: Cleveland Clinic AVMs are usually congenital, meaning they're present at birth, although symptoms may not appear until much later in life, sometimes not at all. According to experts cited by the Indian Express, about 12 per cent of patients with AVMs experience symptoms, and if none occur by the age of 50, they may never appear. When symptoms do occur, they can include buzzing in the ears, chronic headaches, seizures, muscle weakness, facial paralysis, as well as speech or motor issues. In more severe cases, AVMs can cause stroke or brain haemorrhages, making early diagnosis and monitoring crucial. What is trigeminal neuralgia? Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is a type of chronic pain disorder that involves sudden attacks of severe facial pain. It typically happens when a blood vessel puts pressure on your trigeminal nerve near your brainstem. This nerve provides sensation to your head and face. The main symptom of trigeminal neuralgia is sudden, intense pain in the face, usually on one side. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is a type of chronic pain disorder that involves sudden attacks of severe facial pain. Image courtesy: Nature journal The pain may be an electric shock-like or stabbing sensation. One may also have facial muscle spasms during the attacks. In between pain attacks, one may feel burning, throbbing, numbness and dull achiness. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What are the treatment options? Treatment for the conditions Salman Khan revealed—brain aneurysm, AV malformation (AVM), and trigeminal neuralgia—varies depending on their severity and risk. According to The Indian Express, small brain aneurysms (less than 4 mm) are often just monitored closely with regular imaging. If there's a risk of rupture, doctors may perform a minimally invasive procedure where soft platinum coils are inserted through a catheter to block blood flow to the aneurysm. Surgery is only recommended if the aneurysm grows or begins to show warning signs. For AVM, treatment usually involves minimally invasive techniques as well. A common approach is to thread a catheter through the blood vessels to reach the tangle and block it off. In some cases, radiosurgery—a focused form of radiation therapy—is used to gradually shrink the AVM without open surgery. When it comes to trigeminal neuralgia, the first line of treatment typically involves antiseizure medications and muscle relaxants, according to the Cleveland Clinic. If the pain becomes severe or medications don't help, surgical options may be explored. These include radiosurgery, rhizotomy (nerve destruction), peripheral neurectomy, or microvascular decompression, where blood vessels pressing on the nerve are repositioned.
