Bollywood megastar Salman Khan has recently opened up about his long-standing and painful battle with trigeminal neuralgia, a rare and debilitating nerve condition, along with a brain aneurysm that he continues to manage silently. Known for his charisma, intense screen presence, and dedication to fitness, Khan’s revelation has come as a shock to many, highlighting the physical and emotional challenges he has endured away from the limelight.
In a candid interview, Salman revealed that he has been suffering from trigeminal neuralgia for more than a decade. Often referred to as the “suicide disease” due to the unbearable pain it inflicts, trigeminal neuralgia affects the trigeminal nerve in the face, causing sudden, severe episodes of stabbing pain. “The pain was unbearable,” Salman shared. “There were times when I couldn’t talk, couldn’t eat, and yet I had to show up on set, smile, and act as if everything was fine.”

Despite the agony, Salman refused to let the condition define him. He underwent treatment and has since learned to manage the symptoms, continuing to maintain his rigorous shooting schedules, perform stunts, and stay active in public life. His grit and resilience have earned him new respect not just from fans, but also from the medical and wellness communities.
More recently, the actor disclosed that he has also been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, a potentially life-threatening condition caused by a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. Though it has not ruptured, the condition requires constant monitoring and medical attention. “It’s still there,” Salman confirmed. “I live with it, but I don’t let it control me. Life is unpredictable. You just have to keep going.”
This dual diagnosis—of trigeminal neuralgia and brain aneurysm—has sparked widespread conversation about celebrity health, mental strength, and the pressure public figures face to maintain appearances despite hidden struggles. Fans and fellow celebrities have since flooded social media with messages of love, support, and admiration for Salman’s bravery in speaking out.
For a man who has often portrayed larger-than-life heroes on screen, this revelation unveils a side of Salman that is deeply human. His message is clear and powerful: resilience, self-belief, and courage can carry you through even the darkest phases. And, as he puts it himself, “The show must go on.”
