According to recent reports, the beloved comedian has been moved to ventilator support, where a team of specialist doctors is closely monitoring his health. He had been undergoing treatment for various health issues over the past few days.
Salim Kumar has been battling liver-related ailments, specifically liver cirrhosis, for the past several years, which had significantly impacted his physical health and public appearances.

He had also spoken out against false rumors blaming his lifestyle for his health struggles.
Over the years, the actor has faced various challenges, including physical weakness that required support to walk, as well as isolation during his illness. He had also previously revealed how unscientific treatments from fake doctors had further worsened his health condition. While the hospital authorities and his family are yet to release an official medical bulletin, fans and well-wishers across Kerala are actively praying for his speedy recovery.
