AT A recent event in Mumbai promoting cleanliness and eco-friendly practices for Ganesh Chaturthi, actor Salman Khan was seen appearing uncomfortable due to an injury, sparking concern among his fans.

Clips circulating on social media show the 58-year-old star wincing as he touched his rib cage, leading to a wave of “get well soon” messages online.

Salman, who attended the “Bacche Bole Morya” event on Wednesday, was also seen taking some time to rise from his chair, further fueling speculation about his health.

The event’s organizer, Amruta Fadnavis, acknowledged his discomfort, stating, “Today he got hurt, he is not well, still he came. It shows his commitment towards the environment. Thank you so much.”

A source close to Salman later confirmed that he had suffered a rib injury but assured that he is fine. “Nothing to worry about. The shoot (of ‘Sikandar’) is on schedule, not pushed,” the source added.

Despite the reassurances, concerned fans took to social media, with one writing, “#SalmanKhan Bhai is suffering from serious Rib Injury, get well soon Bhai, your health and happiness matters the Most (sic).”

Salman is currently working on his next film, “Sikandar,” though it remains unclear if the injury occurred on set.

The event was also attended by Salman’s sister Alvira Agnihotri, Sonali Bendre, Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Police commissioner Vivek Phalsankar, and BMC commissioner Bhushan Gagrani.
