Salman Khan Helps Body Double After Heart Surgery

Published 25 August 2026

Bollywood actor Salman Khan assisted his longtime body double, Parvez Kazi, after Kazi underwent minor heart surgery earlier this month. The health incident occurred on August 6 when Kazi began feeling unwell at his home and was subsequently admitted to a hospital for treatment. Kazi's manager, Piyush, confirmed that Khan personally intervened to ensure his colleague received proper medical care. "Salman sir treats Parvez sir like a younger brother and helped immediately," Piyush stated, adding that the actor was "right there with us" throughout the process. The manager clarified that initial reports suggesting Kazi suffered a heart attack on a film set were incorrect.
