Salman Khan suffers from suicidal disease for 7 years

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has recently revealed a very painful truth of his life.

Speaking on the show ‘Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle,’ Salman Khan said that he suffered from a dangerous disease called trigeminal neuralgia for 7.5 years, which he calls a suicidal disease (a disease that forces suicide).

Salman Khan said that the pain he suffered due to this disease was so terrible that you would not wish it on your worst enemy. It would attack every four to five minutes. It would take him 1.5 hours to have breakfast, and he would be hungry again by dinner. ‘I had to force myself to eat even a normal omelet because the medicines did not have any effect’.

He stated that initially the doctors thought that it might be a dental problem, but in fact it turned out to be a nerve disease. “I felt this shock for the first time on the sets of the 2007 film Partner”.

According to Salman Khan, this disease is called suicidal disease because the suicide rate among patients with this disease is the highest in the world due to unbearable pain.

On this occasion, Aamir Khan, who participated in the show, also said in a conversation that this pain is really unbearable.

Salman Khan said that, fortunately, modern medical science has made his life easier. He underwent Gamma Knife surgery, in which he was treated by applying a patch to his face for 7 to 8 hours. He was told that after the surgery, the pain would only be reduced by 20 to 30 percent, but fortunately, it completely disappeared.

It is pertinent to note that trigeminal neuralgia is an extremely painful facial disease in which there is severe electric shock-like pain in the facial nerves.
