Bollywood superstar Salman Khan recently appeared in the latest season of The Great Indian Kapil Show as the first guest. During the episode, the actor revealed suffering from some serious health conditions. Salman is battling three neurological conditions - trigeminal neuralgia, a brain aneurysm, and an arteriovenous malformation.

When host Kapil Sharma asked Salman Khan about getting married, he said how hard it is to build wealth and how easily a woman might take it all after a divorce. The actor said he is working at the age of 59 despite several health conditions.

He said, "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)."

The Sikandar actor added, "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...)"

What are aneurysms, AVMs and trigeminal neuralgia?

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a medical condition when an abnormal tangle of blood vessels disturbs the normal blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. A brain aneurysm is a ballooning in a blood vessel which can also cause hemorrhagic stroke if it bursts. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), is a chronic pain disorder which causes sudden, severe, and electric shock-like pain in the face.

For the unversed, Salman Khan first revealed publicly that he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, in 2017, during a promotional event in Dubai for his film Tubelight.
