(ANSA) – NEW DELHI, DEC 28 – Bollywood superstar Salman Khan told the media about the little drama he experienced on Monday, his 56th birthday, when he was bitten by a snake and had to spend six hours in a rural hospital.
The actor, known for his sense of humor, told the story in detail.
“The snake has bitten me three times. I had gone with my family to the country house, in Panvel, a villa immersed in the jungle. The children saw the snake in a room.
I managed to gently twist him on a stick “, he said,” but at that moment the villagers, upon hearing the news, gathered around the villa shouting ‘kandhari, kandhari, kandhari’, the name of the reptile’s family. Dazed by the confusion, the snake bit me the first time; then the screams increased and he bit me again; at that point everyone was screaming ‘hospital, hospital’ and he bit me for the third time. “
At that point it was necessary for the star to rush to the hospital for the antidote, while the snake was brought back, safe and sound, to the jungle. “We both survived three bites,” concluded Khan, “we broke up with friends, and I even have a selfie with him.”
The family of “kandhari” snakes has a little dangerous venom: after six hours of observation, the actor was discharged from the hospital.
Deaths from snake bites are common in India: according to a study last year, between 2019 and 2020 there were 58,000 deaths per year, 160 per day. (HANDLE).
