Salman Khan hardly reveals anything about his personal life but when he does, it is sure to make the news. A few years ago, Salman had revealed that he is going through a painful condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia, which affects the trigeminal nerve that carries sensation from your face to your brain. 

Salman, who will next be seen in Tiger Zinda Hai, has performed various high octane scenes. Hence, we asked Salman if he still suffers from the excruciating pain, to which, the superstar said, "No, that's done. Nothing like that. I heard something like I was ill which was sh** but it is just that I need to be careful."

He added, "So I have to take care that I don't put a lot of pressure on my head, that means I cannot bend, can't do headstands, be upside down ... why would I want to be upside down, anyway (laughs), so I have no problem with that. But If I have to do a summersault, I can do that because as long as the blood is not flowing into your brain, if there is anything quick, then it is not a problem. But the Trigeminal Neuralgia being cured is like a miracle. That is the most painful thing I have been through in the 7 and half years. "

Meanwhile, talking about the action sequences, the director of the film Ali Abbas Zafar said, "Salman is a trained rider. He returned from the IIFA awards and took just three days to get familiar with his horse, Wado. A prized Spanish stallion, with a gleaming black mane, the horse was trained to cross hurdles, jump over barricades and ride down hills. We have shot risky and edgy portions on horseback with Salman. Getting Wado to know Salman and vice versa, therefore, was key to ensuring that this portion of the shoot goes off well. We’ve shot for eight days and getting trained, skilled horses actually made this portion of the shoot fairly easy to execute."

Tiger Zinda Hai is a sequel to Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger and is being helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The movie is slated to release on December 22, 2017.
