While speaking to reporters in Mumbai on Wednesday night, March 11, Arbaaz shared that his father is steadily recovering and is expected to return home soon.
The screenwriter has been undergoing treatment at Lilavati Hospital since mid February.
Addressing the press while leaving an iftar gathering in Mumbai, Arbaaz told reporters, "He's better now, he's improving."
When asked about when Salim Khan could be discharged from the hospital, he added, "Soon".
The comments mark the first official statement from the Khan family since Salim Khan was hospitalised.
Earlier, Salim's long-time writing partner and close friend Javed Akhtar had shared an update on the veteran screenwriter's health.
"Salim is fine now. He's okay and recovering. He's sitting on a chair and talking, and I mean, he has improved," he had said at a book launch.
