AI-Generated Photo of Salim Khan, Amitabh Bachchan & Javed Akhtar Goes Viral

When Salman Khan's father and renowned Bollywood writer, Salim Javed, fell ill, his friend and lyricist, Javed Akhtar, visited Lilavati Hospital twice. Together, they wrote several popular Hindi films, including "Sholay." Their writing partnership later broke up, but their relationship remained unbroken.

Recently, a photo went viral on social media showing Salim Khan sitting on a hospital bed. Javed Akhtar and actor Amitabh Bachchan are seen in the picture. It appears that these two have come to the hospital to inquire about Salim Khan's health. But neither the media nor anyone associated with Bollywood is aware of this. What is the full truth behind this photo?

A post was made on social media, which read, "One pair is complete, the other is incomplete. Javed Akhtar and Amitabh Bachchan reached the hospital to inquire about Salim Khan's health. But Dharam ji was missed. This Salim-Javed duo created the immortal characters of Jai-Veeru for the film 'Sholay.'" A photo was also shared, showing Salim Khan sitting on a hospital bed, smiling, with Amitabh Bachchan and Javed Akhtar sitting in front of him. This photo is quite surprising; it doesn't look natural.

This viral photo appears to be created by AI. In fact, upon closer inspection, the faces of Amitabh Bachchan, Javed Akhtar, and Salim Khan do not appear to match their actual ages. Additionally, Amitabh Bachchan and Javed Akhtar are wearing sneakers and sports shoes in the photo. Meeting patients in this manner is not permitted in the hospital, as they may have an infection. Therefore, this photo is completely fake.

It should be noted that the viral photo of Salim Khan, Javed Akhtar, and Amitabh Bachchan is also fake because on Sunday, Amitabh Bachchan stated in a blog post that he wanted some peace and was resting. Therefore, he did not meet his fans outside Jalsa on Sunday. Therefore, how could he have come to the hospital to meet Salim Khan?

Salman Khan's father has been hospitalized for a few days. Dr. Jamil Parkar, who is caring for Salim Khan, told Amar Ujala on Wednesday, "He (Salim Khan) suffered a minor brain hemorrhage, which does not require surgery. A DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) procedure was performed on him, but it would not be considered surgery. He has been kept in the ICU." He was initially told he would be discharged, but a decision will be made once he feels better. He is currently on a ventilator, but is recovering. It is hoped he can be removed from the ventilator tomorrow. However, due to his advanced age, recovery is a bit slow.

Some media reports revealed that Salman Khan and his family have asked hospital authorities not to release Salim Khan's health updates publicly. Meanwhile, actor Santosh Shukla, a close friend of Salman Khan, told Amar Ujala that Salim Khan is now doing well and has been removed from the ventilator.
