Salman revealed that he first experienced this pain while shooting for the film Partner with Lara Dutta . He said, "Lara was removing a hair from my face, and that's when I felt the pain. I jokingly said, 'Wow, Lara, you're amazing!' And that's when the pain started." Initially, people thought it might be a dental problem. But Salman didn't feel any relief despite taking approximately 750 milligrams of painkillers. Salman explained that the pain even affected his daily life. It would take him an hour and a half to eat breakfast because opening his mouth or chewing became painful. He said, "I had to force myself to eat and endure as much pain as possible."

He also revealed that initially, he had difficulty convincing people that this wasn't just a case of a toothache or a common pain. Salman then underwent Gamma Knife surgery in 2011, in which screws were placed on his face for approximately eight hours. After the surgery, doctors predicted his pain would only decrease by 20-30%, but by God's grace, the pain disappeared completely. Salman also discussed the serious impact of this condition. He said that patients with trigeminal neuralgia have the highest suicide rate. He made this disclosure so that people become aware of this condition and can seek timely treatment.

Furthermore, Salman recently revealed on Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show that he suffered not just from this disease, but also from three major neurological conditions: brain aneurysm, trigeminal neuralgia, and arteriovenous (AV) malformation.
