Acclaimed filmmaker Subhash Ghai voices deep concern for the health of veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, sending prayers for his swift recovery.
Speaking to ANI, Ghai said, "Salim sahib mere bhai ki tarah hai, aaj se nahi, 30-40 saal se. Salman to baad mein aaya, jisne meri picture mein kaam kiya. Sabse pehle Salim sahib the. Sirf main nahi, poori industry unki izzat karti hai aur unke liye prarthana karti hai ki unki sehat achhi rahe aur unki dirghayu ho, kyunki woh bahut hi achhe insaan hain. (Salim is like a brother to me - not from today, but for the last 30 to 40 years. Salman came later and worked in my film. First, it was Salim sir. Not just me, the entire industry respects him. We all pray for his good health and long life, because he is a very good person.)"
