When Salman Khan openly said no to intimate scenes and horror films: 'No sex..., i get scared of...'
When Salman Khan openly said no to intimate scenes and horror films: 'No sex..., i get scared of...' In a career spanning over three decades, Salman Khan has dominated Bollywood with his commanding screen presence and widespread appeal. From wacky comedies like Judwa and Partner , to fully-romantic dramas like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam , and of course his power-pact action films, all have truly solidified his status as a superstar. However, Salman has purposely stayed away from two genres: explicit films and horror. When Salman Khan openly talked about his 'no kiss, no horror' policy Earlier, in an interview with Rediff, the actor had candidly revealed that he wouldn't be comfortable in doing intimate scenes or horror films. 'No. I get scared of horror films,' He admitted that he never himself explored this genre. Summing up with his trademark honesty, the actor said, 'No sex yet, no horror yet.' Another widely discussed aspect of his on-screen persona is his 'no-kissing' rule. Unlike other stars of his generation, Khan has consistently refused to do kissing scenes on-screen, regardless the role demands or other narrative requirements. What Salman Khan said about his 'no-kiss' policy on The Kapil Sharma Show? His long-standing commitment even became a topic on The Kapil Sharma Show, when he appeared with his brothers Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan. Kapil teased him about his no-kiss policy to which Salman humorously responded, 'Dekho kiss toh main karta nahi screen pe toh mujhe toh koi farak padta nai.' While some claim that Khan broke his policy for Karisma Kapoor in Jeet (1996). However, some state that it was only a chin kiss and not a proper kissing sequence. Salman reportedly refused to film a kissing scene with Katrina Kaif for Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) Meanwhile, Salman Khan will next appear in Apoorva Lakhia's Battle of Galwan. The film is based on Galwan Valley clash, a deadly fight between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh on June 15, 2020. The actor is expected to play the role of Colonel B Santosh Babu, the martyred hero who led the 16 Bihar regiment during the battle.

What is trigeminal neuralgia? Salman Khan's battle with 'suicide disease'
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan first began experiencing symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia—a rare and intensely painful nerve condition—while shooting for Partner in 2007. For years, he endured excruciating facial pain that affected his ability to speak, eat, or move comfortably. In 2011, he underwent surgery in the United States, finding some relief from what's often dubbed the 'suicide disease' due to the unbearable nature of the pain. His story has drawn attention to a condition that is frequently misunderstood and misdiagnosed. What is trigeminal neuralgia? According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain disorder involving the trigeminal nerve, which branches across the eye, cheek, and jaw. While humans have two trigeminal nerves—one on each side—pain usually affects only one side of the face. Even light touch, a smile, or a breeze can trigger sudden, stabbing pain that feels like an electric shock. The condition is also called tic douloureux, meaning 'painful tic.' Why is it called the 'suicide disease'? The pain from TN can be so severe and unpredictable that it leads to suicidal thoughts in some patients. Many live in fear of the next attack, and while not everyone experiences mental health effects, the condition can take a serious emotional toll. What causes trigeminal neuralgia? 'TN often occurs when a blood vessel presses against the trigeminal nerve near the brainstem, disrupting its function and causing pain,' said Dr Animesh Kar, Neurologist, Narayana Hospital, Kolkata. Other causes include: Multiple sclerosis (MS) Tumours Nerve damage from surgery or trauma Unknown causes (idiopathic TN) What are the symptoms? Sudden, sharp facial pain (usually one-sided) Pain triggered by actions like brushing teeth or chewing Episodes lasting a few seconds to several minutes Increasing frequency of pain over time Who is at risk? A 2022 study places the global incidence between 4 and 13 cases per 100,000 people. Women are more commonly affected, and most cases occur after age 50—though younger individuals can also develop the condition. Genetics, autoimmune disorders, and neurological diseases may raise risk. How is it diagnosed and treated? 'The biggest challenge is getting the right diagnosis,' said Dr Kar. TN is often mistaken for dental or ENT problems. Diagnosis is typically clinical, supported by MRI to rule out other causes, which may cost ₹5,000–₹15,000. Treatment options include: Medications: Anticonvulsants like carbamazepine Surgery: Microvascular decompression Minimally invasive: Gamma knife radiosurgery, radiofrequency ablation Carbamazepine may cost a few hundred rupees monthly, while surgery can cost ₹1.5–₹4 lakh depending on hospital and technology. Mental health support is also vital, given the toll of chronic pain. Salman Khan's story puts the spotlight on TN Despite living with the condition, Salman Khan continued to act and host TV shows. While promoting Sikandar in Dubai, he called it 'one disease that basically has the highest rates of suicides,' highlighting its severity. Trigeminal neuralgia may be invisible, but its pain is real. Salman's story is a reminder to take unexplained facial pain seriously—early diagnosis and proper care can be life-changing.

‘Filthy ball of wool' – Owner of dog left without food or water is spared jail
A vet gave evidence stating, "It was difficult to differentiate its head from its tail' A dog owner whose pet bichon frise was left like a filth-ridden "ball of wool", drinking drain water and sleeping among used medical needles has been spared jail. Thomas Joyce of Cloonmore Road, Jobstown, Tallaght, Dublin 24, was summonsed on charges under the Animal Health and Welfare Act for the neglect of his dog named Partner. However, he failed to appear at his hearing in Dublin District Court, was convicted in absentia, fined €500 and prohibited from owning an animal for five years by Judge Anthony Halpin yesterday/today. A vet gave evidence stating, "It was difficult to differentiate its head from its tail.' Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA) inspector Shane Lawlor told Judge Halpin that Partner lived in "deplorable" conditions and was heavily matted when Joyce was questioned on February 22 last year. The animal welfare inspector said he received a call that the dog was living in poor conditions and was in a poor physical state. He spoke to Joyce, who showed him the male dog whose coat was matted so heavily it was hurting. "It was very disorientating; he could not see properly at all, was walking in circles, walking into the wall and was quite aggressive to handle." The dog also had an open wound on its back side, and "he had no resting area at all." Photo evidence was handed into court. They revealed Partner was left living in a shed full of rubbish and dozens of used medical needles by diabetic Joyce. His only drink was dirty drain water, and there was no food either; his skin was inflamed. Partner, who was not microchipped, was seized and has since been treated and re-homed. Photo: DSPCA The court heard Joyce agreed the conditions were unacceptable. Asked by the inspector why he did not bring the dog for care, he said he was embarrassed and owned up that he could not give the necessary care to his pet. DSPCA veterinary director Elise O'Byrne White confirmed the poor condition of the animal's faecal and urine-stained coat. The dog's back and belly skin were inflamed, and it had external parasites. She believed Partner was in a state of discomfort due to the severe matting. "It was difficult to differentiate its head from its tail' Commenting on the photo evidence, Judge Halpin described the dog as a poor animal and "like a big ball of wool, you can't see a head or legs or anything". The offences could have resulted in a €5,000 fine and six months imprisonment. Finalising the case, he noted that the man told the inspector he was ashamed and let his dog be taken. Setting the fine at €500, to be paid within six months, he explained he had considered the conditions the accused was living in and inferred he was not of huge means.

Salman Khan reveals brain aneurysm, AVM and the 'suicide disease'
Bollywood actor Salman Khan recently disclosed that he is living with multiple serious neurological conditions, including a brain aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and trigeminal neuralgia, commonly referred to as the 'suicide disease' due to its excruciating pain. The actor revealed these health challenges during his appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, aired June 21, where he briefly spoke about working through these conditions despite their severity. These diseases, though rare, are potentially life-threatening if not managed carefully and can significantly impact quality of life. Khan made a candid revelation during conversation with Kapil Sharma, ' Hum ye jo daily ki haddiyan tudwa rahe hain, pasliyan toot gai, trigeminal neuralgia ke sath kaam kar rahe hain, aneurysm hai brain mein uske bawajood kaam kar rahe hain. AV malformation hai, uske bawajood chal rahe hain.' ('I'm out here breaking my bones every day, ribs are fractured, I'm working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there's an aneurysm in the brain, yet I'm still working. There's also an AV malformation, and still, I'm carrying on.') What is Trigeminal Neuralgia, and why is it called the 'suicide disease'? According to the Cleveland Clinic, an American nonprofit academic medical centre based in Cleveland, Ohio, Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain disorder that causes intense pain attacks in your face. It happens when your trigeminal nerve, responsible for sensation in the face and chewing, is damaged or irritated. According to media reports, Khan was first diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia around 2007 during the filming of Partner. He underwent nerve surgery in the US in 2011. It is characterised by sudden, stabbing facial pain triggered by mild activities such as chewing, brushing, or speaking. It is called 'suicide disease' due to the debilitating nature of the pain, which can severely impact the patient's quality of life. It is a rare disease with an estimated global incidence of about 4 to 13 cases per 100,000 people annually, according to a 2022 study. Women are more likely to develop it than men and most cases develop after age 50. What is a brain aneurysm? According to Dr Praveen Gupta, chairman, Marengo Asia International Institute of Neuro & Spine (MAIINS), Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram, 'An aneurysm is a weakness in the wall of the artery that causes it to bulge out, forming a balloon-like structure. This site is prone to rupture, leading to brain hemorrhage.' Early warning signs of aneurysm highlighted by Gupta: Sudden, severe headache (commonly described as the worst headache of life) Neck stiffness Tingling or numbness Transient vision problems or double vision Mild speech slurring Imbalance while walking Facial drooping Sudden memory issues or difficulty using appropriate words Dr Gupta explained that the treatment of this rare disease involves minimally invasive procedures to seal the aneurysm, such as endovascular coiling or flow diverter stents. In some cases, open surgery is required to place clips that prevent rupture, he said. While talking about the preventive measures, Dr Gupta said lifestyle changes to control blood pressure and avoid rupture are crucial. He said, 'Monitoring small, unruptured aneurysms with regular imaging is important, along with lifestyle changes.' In order to prevent aneurysm, he urged people to: Adopt a healthy lifestyle Strictly control blood pressure Avoid smoking Get regular screenings done, if there is a family history of aneurysms What is arteriovenous malformation (AVM)? According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, AVM is a rare vascular condition in which arteries and veins are abnormally connected, bypassing the normal capillary system. This can reduce oxygen delivery to brain tissues and may rupture. It is estimated to occur in less than 1 in 10,000 people. Some of the symptoms of AVM include headaches, seizures, or neurological deficits. According to global health agencies, many cases remain undiagnosed until a rupture occurs. Gupta explained that the presence of both an aneurysm and AVM significantly increases the patient's risk for brain haemorrhage. Despite these serious diagnoses, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor continues to lead a highly active professional life. Why are these conditions dangerous? Dr Gupta emphasised that these disorders, though individually rare, can lead to life-threatening outcomes if not diagnosed or treated promptly. He said, 'Early warning signs of stroke and aneurysm are often subtle and should not be ignored. Timely intervention can be life-saving.' He further recommended: Early neurological consultations for recurring headaches or facial pain Regular monitoring for individuals with familial risk Lifestyle changes to reduce modifiable risk factors such as high blood pressure and smoking Salman Khan's disclosure has shed light on lesser-known but critical neurological diseases. Despite this complex mix of neurological issues alongside physical strain and chronic sleep disruption, he continues to work actively, relying on a strong support system and fall-back health routines.
