Salman Khan turned 56 on December 27. The superstar was flooded with wishes from his admirers and colleagues on social media. He celebrated his birthday at his farmhouse in Panvel. A day before his birthday, the actor was bit by a snake and was hospitalised for six hours. Fans of the actor were concerned for him after the news was out. Veteran actor Dharmendra, too, revealed in a tweet that he was worried about Salman after hearing the news and had called him to check on him.
In a tweet, replying to a fan who asked him to wish Salman Khan on his birthday, Dharmendra shared, “Malik, Salman is like a son to me…. He too have great love and respect for me. I always pray on his Birthday and wish him the Best. I got worried and called him after the news of a snake bite. He is fit and fine.”
Dharmendra had also shared a picture with Salman and wished him on his birthday. “Happy birthday Salman…Jeete Raho,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, talking about the snake bite incident, Salman told the press on his birthday, “It wasn’t much, a snake had entered one of the rooms, the farmhouse is quite in the jungle in Panvel. When the snake entered the room, kids got scared so I went in to see and asked for a stick, the stick that came was a small one so I asked for a longer stick, and they got one, with which I picked up the snake with a lot of love and brought it out, and the snake wrapped itself on the stick and then it started climbing upwards. It came quite close to my hand so I caught it with my other hand and dropped the stick to be able to leave the snake (in the jungle).”
