Bollywood superstar Salman Khan gets honest about his prolonged health struggles, including a 7.5-year-long battle with Trigeminal Neuralgia, commonly referred to as ‘suicide disease’.
Appearing on actors Twinkle Khanna and Kajol’s new Prime Video chat show, along with his close friend Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, 59, shared his long struggle with trigeminal neuralgia – a facial nerve disorder, often commonly called a ‘suicide disease’ – which he was first diagnosed with while shooting ‘Partner’ (2007).
“I was doing Partner. Lara [Dutta] was there. She removed a strand of hair from my face, and I felt pain. I joked, ‘Wow, Lara, you’re electrifying!’ That’s when it started,” he recalled on the first episode of ‘Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle’, sharing that the shooting pain that the disorder inflicts made each following day a struggle.
