Veteran actor Dharmendra said he had called Salman Khan after he heard that the actor was bitten by a snake and was relieved to find that the superstar was "fit and fine". Salman Khan was bitten by a non-venomous snake at his farmhouse near Panvel in the adjoining Raigad district. The actor was taken to a hospital at Kamothe in Navi Mumbai and was discharged later on Sunday morning. When a fan requested Dharmendra to wish Salman Khan, who turned 56 on Monday (December 27), the veteran said his prayers are always with him.
The 86-year-old actor, who is a close family friend of the Khan family, tweeted, "Malik, Salman is like a son to me. He too has 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 also shared a picture with Salman Khan and wrote, "Long live".
