At 90, health can be fragile. It's good to see he's stable and under the care of such a senior team of specialists. The family is right to keep the details private. Our best wishes are with them.

Salim-Javed gave us some of the most iconic dialogues and films. It's heartwarming to see the younger generation like Arhaan and Nirvaan visiting their dada. Family support is everything.

While I wish him a quick recovery, the media circus outside hospitals is always a bit much. I hope the family gets the peace and privacy they need during this stressful time.
