Speaking to news agency ANI, 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.” Earlier, Dr. Kuldeep Salgotra, who treated the actor told ANI, “Two teams of doctors are with Salman Khan and his health is fine.”
After Salman was bitten by a snake, his father Salim Khan had told News18, “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.”
Salman added that he was feeling fine and they have not killed the snake “When I came back, we let go of the snake. My sister got really scared, so I clicked a picture with the snake for her. Saanp se dosti hogyi (made friends with the snake),” he quipped, adding, “My dad asked me ki kya hua? Saanp zinda hai? So I said yes, tiger bhi zinda hai, saanp bhi zinda hai.”
