Salman Khan, when asked about the incident, replied, “It wasn’t much, a snake had entered one of the rooms, the farmhouse is quite in the jungle in Panvel. When the snake entered the room, kids got scared so I went in to see and asked for a stick, the stick that came was a small one so I asked for a longer stick, and they got one, with which I picked up the snake with a lot of love and brought it out, and the snake wrapped itself on the stick and then it started climbing upwards. It came quite close to my hand so I caught it with my other hand and dropped the stick to be able to leave the snake (in the jungle).”

He further said, “The villagers around know what snakes come around. This was a Kandhari snake, and they started screaming ‘kandhari, kandhari, kandhari’. That’s when the snake bit me once, then there was more chaos when they screamed ‘chaavla, chaavla, chaavla’ (the snake has bit), that’s when the snake bit me again. Then they all screamed ‘hospital, hospital, hospital’, saying that I should be taken to a hospital quickly. There was so much commotion, the snake was a bit venomous, and it bit me again. I was taken to the hospital, and there we came to know that it is a different kind of snake, not the great kandhari.”

Salman was seen cutting a cake in several photos and videos circulated online. He exited the farmhouse to speak with the paparazzi that had gathered outside. The star gave them a friendly smile and posed for them. They also sang him a song. Salman then talked about the snake bite and his subsequent smile. The actor wore a black T-shirt, a black jacket, and brown colored jeans for the occasion. His neck was encircled with a chain.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan just confirmed a sequel to his 2015 flick Bajrangi Bhaijaan which was directed by Kabir Khan and starring Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Harshaali Malhotra.
