Actor Salman Khan, who was bitten by a non-venomous snake at his farmhouse in Panvel on Saturday night, revealed that the snake bit him for the third time following a commotion, reports news agency AFP. Salman Khan was bitten thrice by a non-venomous snake a day before his birthday and he was treated at a hospital in Kamothe, Navi Mumbai, from where he was discharged on Sunday morning. Speaking about how he tried to remove the snake from his farmhouse and ended up being bitten by the snake thrice, Salman Khan said that he "picked up the snake with a lot of love and brought it out, and the snake wrapped itself on the stick and then it started climbing upwards," reports AFP.
After the snake bit him twice, the local villagers gathered at the farmhouse and "screamed 'hospital, hospital, hospital', saying that I (the actor) should be taken to a hospital quickly. There was so much commotion, the snake was a bit venomous, and it bit me again," added Salman Khan, reports AFP.
