On New Talk Show, Salman Khan Details Years of Trigeminal Neuralgia, Says Gamma Knife Ended Pain

His Prime Video appearance spotlights how radiosurgery resolved the agony after years of misdiagnosis and heavy medication.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Sept. 25 premiere of Two Much With Kajol & Twinkle, Khan recounted a 7½‑year ordeal marked by stabbing facial pain every four to five minutes.
  • He said the first jolt came on the 2007 Partner set when Lara Dutta brushed a hair from his face, a symptom initially mistaken for a dental issue.
  • He described relying on 750 mg painkillers without relief and noticing brief easing after a drink, which helped doctors identify a nerve problem.
  • Khan underwent Gamma Knife radiosurgery in the United States in 2011, a roughly 7–8 hour procedure that he says eliminated the pain completely.
  • He added that he continues to live with a brain aneurysm and an arteriovenous malformation, as coverage also explains typical TN causes, diagnosis and treatment options.
