A collage showing images of actor Salman Khan in a hospital bed, along with actors Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal in a distressed state, is going viral on social media platforms.
The claim: The post noted that Khan had been hospitalised and was in a critical condition due to a brain aneurysm.
What we found: At first, we ran a relevant keyword search to check whether Khan had been admitted to a hospital, recently, due to a brain aneurysm however, we did not find any official reports or press notes to prove the same.
Incidentally, we came across a report by the Times of India from 23 June noting Khan's appearance on comedy show The Great Indian Kapil Show.
In the show, Khan revealed that despite enduring serious health issues including trigeminal neuralgia (a nerve disorder), a brain aneurysm, and an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) among other injuries and ailments, including broken ribs, he continued to perform action-packed scenes and maintain a demanding schedule.
Additionally, we tracked Khan's social media and found that he posted a video on Instagram on the occasion of Ganpati Visarjan which he celebrated with his family. He can be seen dancing with his relatives in the video.
Khan also appeared as the host of reality show Bigg Boss 19 which airs on over-the-top platform JioHotstar and Colors TV on 30 August.
Conclusion: The viral claim is false that Khan has been admitted to a hospital due to a brain aneurysm.
