Mumbai, Dec 9 (IANS) Superstar Salman Khan met his fan Abdul Basit from Pakistan after his successful liver transplant was performed at a hospital in the capital.

The 11-year-old, a resident of Pakistan, developed severe jaundice soon after birth.

To prevent complications like brain damage and hearing loss from this condition, Abdul underwent continuous phototherapy in a hospital during the first two months of his life. Thereafter, he was discharged to go home and continue the phototherapy treatment.

As he grew older, his skin thickened and the light penetration decreased, making it less effective. Since the only permanent treatment was a liver transplant, he was referred to the Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in Delhi.
