Dad Salim Khan Asks Salman Khan How He Is After Snake Bite Incident; Actor Replies 'Tiger Zinda Hai'

Actor Salman Khan has spoken at length about how he was bitten by a snake at his farmhouse near Panvel. The snake bit Salman’s hand on Saturday night at his farmhouse. The actor, who celebrates his 56th birthday today, was then taken to a hospital at Kamothe in Navi Mumbai and was discharged on Sunday morning.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of his birthday celebration at his farmhouse, Salman Khan said, “A snake had entered my farmhouse, I took it outside using a stick. Gradually it reached onto my hand. I then grabbed it to release, which is when it bit me thrice. It was a kind of poisonous snake. I was hospitalized for 6 hours… I am fine now.”

Salman also revealed an interesting conversation that he had with his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan when the latter asked him about his health and if the snake was alive. “I told him (father) haan Tiger bhi zinda hai. Saanp bhi zinda hai (Tiger is alive and the snake too),” said Salman, referring to his blockbuster movie Tiger Zinda Hai.

Actor-politician Bina Kak, who has worked with Salman in films like “Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?” and “God Tussi Great Ho”, earlier shared a health update of the actor on Instagram. “Birthday tomorrow, all good and cheerful, happy and absolutely healthy today. Happy to be surrounded by family. I call him Khuda ki ‘Naimat’. All our blessings for a happy, healthy, long, and meaningful life ahead,” Kak wrote alongside a selfie with Salman.

Salman’s father Salim Khan also assured fans that the actor was ‘completely fine’ and had been asked to take a few medicines. “Salman is doing fine. There is nothing to worry about. It happened early morning but he is fine now. It was a non-poisonous snake and it is obvious to find these creatures in forest areas. The doctor has prescribed a few medicines but otherwise, he is completely fine,” Salim Khan told us.

Salman was recently seen on the big screen in “Antim: The Final Truth”, which released last month. He is also seen as the host of the Colors TV reality show “Bigg Boss” and has the third installment of his film “Tiger 3”, tentatively scheduled for a release next year.
