The Hidden Pain Behind the Star: Salman Khan's health battle with Trigeminal Neuralgia and 2 other conditions—Know all about it
Fans have a newfound respect for Salman Khan as they come to find out how hard he works despite having to deal with a complicated medical history. It's not a secret that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor has been battling trigeminal neuralgia for a long time. The neurological condition, which is triggered by simple day-to-day activities and causes stabbing pain on the face without any warning, made him go under the knife back in 2011. But unfortunately, it looks like he is not free from the clutches of this painful disorder. There are two more neurological conditions that Salman suffers from. What is Trigeminal Neuralgia, Aneurysm, and AV Malformation In the new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, the actor revealed that along with trigeminal neuralgia, there is also an aneurysm and AV malformation that he battles with. Trigeminal Neuralgia Causes sudden mild to severe facial pain that imitates an electric shock. Characterized by muscle spasms. Can get triggered by cold air on the face or simple acts like speaking, brushing teeth, and chewing food. Attacks areas that are served by the trigeminal nerve, i.e. cheeks, jaw, lips, gums, teeth, eyes, forehead, etc. The episodes can be as short as a few seconds or last for months. The intensity of the pain becomes even more severe with time. The pain can affect only one spot or spiral over a wider surface. Aneurysm An aneurysm is a swelling or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. It is also known as aneurysmal dilatation, It is divided into three sub-categories: saccular aneurysm, fusiform aneurysm, and mycotic aneurysm. An aneurysm is not easy to detect unless it causes the vessel to split open. According to experts, when blood flowing through a blood vessel pushes a weak area, it swells and forms a brain aneurysm. If an aneurysm bursts open, it can cause nausea, vomiting, issues with vision, stiff neck, seizure, etc., and can prove to be fatal in many cases. AV Malformation As the name arteriovenous malformation suggests, this disorder occurs when blood vessels are literally malformed or distorted. They get entwined, disrupting the connections between arteries and veins. It leads to irregular blood flow and bars tissues from getting enough oxygen. Can form anywhere in the body, even the brain is not spared. Causes the veins in the scalp to swell. The disorder causes frequent seizures, headaches, nausea, vomiting, numbness in muscles, incoordination in movements, hallucinations, and affects memory. It can lead to heart failure. Fluid buildup in the brain can unusually enlarges the head. Salman Khan continues to thrive as a coveted actor despite his hardships. He openly talked about his various rib fractures and these neurological disorders, revealing that they can affect him fatally. He is resilient and doesn't wish to retire anytime soon. His fans have since expressed their concerns regarding their favorite actor's health. But at the same time, they can't help but praise the Bollywood superstar's passion and utmost commitment to his craft.

Salman Khan Reveals Struggle With Brain Aneurysm, AV Malformation and Trigeminal Neuralgia: What Are These Neurological Disorders?
Salman Khan recently revealed that he's currently dealing with multiple serious health conditions. During his appearance at The Great Indian Kapil Show, he disclosed that he has a brain aneurysm, an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and trigeminal neuralgia. "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 is also an AV malformation, and still, I'm carrying on," he said. Brain aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and trigeminal neuralgia are all serious neurological disorders which can cause some serious complications. Keep reading to know about these conditions. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM): An AVM is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain. This can disrupt normal blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain. AVMs can also lead to bleeding in the brain known as a hemorrhage. Symptoms can vary widely but may include: Headaches Seizures Neurological deficits depending on the area of the brain affected Nausea and vomiting Loss of consciousness Muscle weakness Loss of coordination and movement Dizziness Confusion There are no identified causes of AVM. Early diagnosis and regular monitoring can effectively control AVM symptoms and help patients lead normal lives. Brain Aneurysm: A brain aneurysm is a bulge in the weak area of blood vessels in the brain. It's also known as a cerebral aneurysm or intracranial aneurysm. When the blood flowing through the blood vessel puts pressure on a weak area of the vessel wall it forms a bulge. This pressure can also increase the size of the aneurysm with time and the aneurysm may rupture. Leading to a hemorrhagic stroke. Symptoms may include sudden severe headaches (often described as "the worst headache ever"), blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and in some cases, loss of consciousness. A sudden, severe headache is the key symptom of a ruptured aneurysm. Trigeminal Neuralgia: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) causes episodes of intense facial pain similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. This condition can disrupt everyday activities. It affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries signals from the face to the brain. TN can be a chronic pain condition which isn't life-threatening, but it can be life-altering. This condition is more common in women and individuals older than 50. Everyday activities as simple as chewing, talking, smiling and brushing your teeth can trigger brief episodes of intense pain. The episodes can vary in frequency and intensity, often described as sharp, shooting pain, and may last from seconds to several minutes. Salman publicly addressed his health for the first time in 2017 at a promotional event, revealing that he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia.

Salman Khan reveals he has a brain aneurysm, trigeminal neuralgia and AV malformation; what are these medical issues
Jun 23, 2025 06:42 PM IST A few months ago, Bollywood's Bhaijaan Salman Khan left his many fans worried with his appearance in viral videos. Many netizens wondered if Bhaijaan was facing health issues, but they took a breath of relief when the actor clarified that he looked this way due to sleep deprivation and a hectic schedule. However, last weekend when Salman graced the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3, he gave fans a cause to worry again as he casually revealed medical issues that he is currently battling. The superstar shared that he has a brain aneurysm, trigeminal neuralgia and AV malformation. But what do these terms mean and how serious is his condition? Salman Khan on Kapil Sharma's show According to the Mayo Clinic, a brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. If the brain aneurysm leaks or ruptures, it causes bleeding in the brain, which is known as a hemorrhagic stroke. Even though a brain aneurysm is common, if it ruptures it can become life-threatening. Trigeminal neuralgia, on the other hand, is a chronic pain condition which causes intense pain, like an electric shock, on one side of the face. It affects the nerve which carries signals from the face to the brain. The pain can be triggered even by light activity such as brushing teeth or applying makeup. Meanwhile, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke describes AV malformation as an abnormal tangle of blood vessels that causes problems with the connections between your arteries and veins. It most often occurs in the spinal cord and in the brain but can develop elsewhere in the body as well. During his appearance on Kapil Sharma's comedy show, talking about recent divorce and alimony cases in the society, Salman shared, 'Hum ye jo daily ki haddiyaan tudwa rahe hain, pasliyaan 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. All of this is going on in my life. Aur jahan unka mood satka, woh aadha humara leke chala gaya.' We hope Bhaijaan takes good care of himself as he prepares to bounce back on the silver screen soon.

Salman Khan reveals brain aneurysm, AVM and the 'suicide disease'
Bollywood actor Salman Khan recently disclosed that he is living with multiple serious neurological conditions, including a brain aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and trigeminal neuralgia, commonly referred to as the 'suicide disease' due to its excruciating pain. The actor revealed these health challenges during his appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, aired June 21, where he briefly spoke about working through these conditions despite their severity. These diseases, though rare, are potentially life-threatening if not managed carefully and can significantly impact quality of life. Khan made a candid revelation during conversation with 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. 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.') What is Trigeminal Neuralgia, and why is it called the 'suicide disease'? According to the Cleveland Clinic, an American nonprofit academic medical centre based in Cleveland, Ohio, Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain disorder that causes intense pain attacks in your face. It happens when your trigeminal nerve, responsible for sensation in the face and chewing, is damaged or irritated. According to media reports, Khan was first diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia around 2007 during the filming of Partner. He underwent nerve surgery in the US in 2011. It is characterised by sudden, stabbing facial pain triggered by mild activities such as chewing, brushing, or speaking. It is called 'suicide disease' due to the debilitating nature of the pain, which can severely impact the patient's quality of life. It is a rare disease with an estimated global incidence of about 4 to 13 cases per 100,000 people annually, according to a 2022 study. Women are more likely to develop it than men and most cases develop after age 50. What is a brain aneurysm? According to Dr Praveen Gupta, chairman, Marengo Asia International Institute of Neuro & Spine (MAIINS), Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram, 'An aneurysm is a weakness in the wall of the artery that causes it to bulge out, forming a balloon-like structure. This site is prone to rupture, leading to brain hemorrhage.' Early warning signs of aneurysm highlighted by Gupta: Sudden, severe headache (commonly described as the worst headache of life) Neck stiffness Tingling or numbness Transient vision problems or double vision Mild speech slurring Imbalance while walking Facial drooping Sudden memory issues or difficulty using appropriate words Dr Gupta explained that the treatment of this rare disease involves minimally invasive procedures to seal the aneurysm, such as endovascular coiling or flow diverter stents. In some cases, open surgery is required to place clips that prevent rupture, he said. While talking about the preventive measures, Dr Gupta said lifestyle changes to control blood pressure and avoid rupture are crucial. He said, 'Monitoring small, unruptured aneurysms with regular imaging is important, along with lifestyle changes.' In order to prevent aneurysm, he urged people to: Adopt a healthy lifestyle Strictly control blood pressure Avoid smoking Get regular screenings done, if there is a family history of aneurysms What is arteriovenous malformation (AVM)? According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, AVM is a rare vascular condition in which arteries and veins are abnormally connected, bypassing the normal capillary system. This can reduce oxygen delivery to brain tissues and may rupture. It is estimated to occur in less than 1 in 10,000 people. Some of the symptoms of AVM include headaches, seizures, or neurological deficits. According to global health agencies, many cases remain undiagnosed until a rupture occurs. Gupta explained that the presence of both an aneurysm and AVM significantly increases the patient's risk for brain haemorrhage. Despite these serious diagnoses, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor continues to lead a highly active professional life. Why are these conditions dangerous? Dr Gupta emphasised that these disorders, though individually rare, can lead to life-threatening outcomes if not diagnosed or treated promptly. He said, 'Early warning signs of stroke and aneurysm are often subtle and should not be ignored. Timely intervention can be life-saving.' He further recommended: Early neurological consultations for recurring headaches or facial pain Regular monitoring for individuals with familial risk Lifestyle changes to reduce modifiable risk factors such as high blood pressure and smoking Salman Khan's disclosure has shed light on lesser-known but critical neurological diseases. Despite this complex mix of neurological issues alongside physical strain and chronic sleep disruption, he continues to work actively, relying on a strong support system and fall-back health routines.
