Somy Ali wishes for an early recovery

Taking to a story on Instagram, Somy Ali added an emotional note as she spends the best time

with the Khan family. She expressed deep sorrow after knowing about his hospitalisation and

fondly recalled her time in their home. In her post, she noted that the world called Salim Khan as

the legendary writer who fruitfully shaped the careers of stars like Amitabh Bachchan and co-

created super hit movie films such as Sholay.

Calling Salim Khan a father figure, Somy wrote, ‘Living in his home, I was treated like a

daughter, included at the table, engaged in deep conversations about faith, where all religions

were respected and celebrated.’

He taught me a lesson that God is bigger than doctrine. The storytelling should never carry truth

beneath the drama. His brilliant writing built cinematic history.

According to the statement issued by the doctor at Lilavati Hospital, ‘Salim Khan was admitted

to the Lilavati Hospital under Dr Jalil Parkar in the ICU at 8.30 am on Tuesday morning.’ Javed

Akhtar, his long-time friend, also reached the hospital to find updates on the health of the

Bollywood legend.
