Good to see that Salim Khan’s health is improving now.
However, Salman looked a bit low and not as cheerful as usual, likely because of his father’s recent health issues.

The 90-year-old, one half of the celebrated Salim-Javed writing duo, had been admitted to the ICU of Lilavati Hospital in Bandra on February 17 and was put on ventilator support as a safeguard before being discharged successfully four weeks later.
Salman continued his annual Eid tradition of greeting fans from his balcony, waving and blowing flying kisses from behind bulletproof glass installed following a past firing incident outside the building.
Arpita's children were also present with Salman seen interacting warmly with them during the celebrations.
