It's heartwarming to see the entire film fraternity and family come together. At 90, he's a fighter. The doctors saying it's minimal and no surgery was needed is a huge relief. Sending positive vibes.

While I join everyone in wishing him a full recovery, I do wish the media would give the family some privacy during such a sensitive time. The constant camera flashes outside the hospital must be stressful.

Salim-Javed were the original rockstars of Bollywood. Their dialogues are still quoted today. Hoping for his swift recovery. The man gave us so much joy through his films.

Seeing Javed Akhtar visit him really hits home. Their partnership created magic. Health scares are scary at any age, but especially for our elders. Bhagwan unhe shakti dein. ❤️
