Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will be meeting and greeting Egyptian national Eman Ahmed Abdulati, a 500 kg weighing woman, who's admitted in a Mumbai hospital for a life-saving bariatric surgery.

Salman's father and veteran screenwriter Salim Khan has said the actor would meet Eman as soon an official request from Saifee Hospital is received, report local media.

“We have learnt of her desire. Salman will certainly meet her. An actor would to go to any lengths to fulfil the desire of such a patient. But so far, we haven't received any official request from the hospital. As soon as we receive one, Salman will go to meet her," said Salim Khan.

Eman (37), touted as the world's heaviest woman at 500 kg, had expressed the desire to meet the star soon after her arrival in Mumbai on February 11.

Eman has been devouring Hindi movies in her special 1,000-sqft room at Saifee Hospital, especially those of the three Khans of Bollywood — Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman. But of the three, Salman has become her favourite. She had also expressed the desire through her bariatric surgeon, Dr Muffazal Lakdawala, for a meeting with the actor.

Dr Lakdawala, who is also the Khan family's physician, said he would send out an official request soon.

"If Salimji has said yes, then I will certainly message Salman, requesting him for a meeting with Eman," the doctor said.
