A non-venomous snake bit Bollywood superstar Salman Khan on his hand, at his farmhouse near Panvel, Maharashta.

The actor was taken to a hospital in Kamothe and was discharged on Sunday morning.

"Salman was bitten last night and taken to a hospital. He was discharged after six hours. He is back home and well," sources close to the actor told PTI.

Khan is set to celebrate his 56th birthday on Monday.

Beena Kak, who is close to Salman Khan’s family, posted a photo with the actor saying he was happy and absolutely healthy.

The actor was last seen on the big screen in Antim: The Final Truth, which released last month. The filming of the upcoming action movie Tiger 3 is reportedly ongoing.
