Actor Salman Khan was bitten by a non-venomous snake at his farmhouse in Panvel on Saturday night. According to a news agency, the snake bit him for the third time following a commotion, just a day before his birthday.
The actor was later treated at a hospital in Kamothe, Navi Mumbai, from where he was discharged on Sunday morning.
Salman Khan was trying to remove the snake from his farmhouse but ended up being bitten by the snake thrice. Elaborating it further Salman Khan said that he “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.”
After the snake bit him twice, the local villagers gathered at the farmhouse and “screamed ‘hospital, hospital, hospital’, indicating the actor should be taken to a hospital quickly. “There was so much commotion, the snake was a bit venomous, and it bit me again,” added Salman Khan.
The actor was administered with antivenom and kept under observation. After medical treatment for almost six hours, Salman Khan returned to his farmhouse on Sunday morning and celebrated his 56th birthday with his family and friends.
Salman Khan, during an interaction with media after his discharge, shared that the snake that bit him survived the incident and has been taken safely back to the jungle.
After his discharge, Salman Khan was quoted saying: “When I came back, we let go of the snake. My sister got really scared, so I clicked a picture with the snake for her. Saanp se dosti hogayi (made friends with the snake). My dad asked me ki kya hua? Saanp zinda hai? So, I said yes, tiger bhi zinda hai, saanp bhi zinda hai.”
