Mamata Banerjee’s Heartfelt Message
After news emerged about Shah Rukh Khan’s recent injury, Mamata Banerjee took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her worries. She referred to the actor as her “brother,” highlighting their close bond.
Her tweet read, “Reports regarding my brother Shah Rukh Khan sustaining muscular injuries during shooting make me worried. Wish him speedy recovery. @iamsrk.” Her message quickly garnered attention, showing the widespread concern for the beloved star.
Shah Rukh Khan Injured on “King” Set
Sources indicate that Shah Rukh Khan injured his back while filming for “King” in Mumbai. Following the incident, he was reportedly flown to the United States for initial treatment.
He is now said to be resting and recuperating in the United Kingdom, accompanied by his team and family members. While the injury is considered minor, his well-being is paramount.
Filming Schedule on Hold
The unfortunate injury has led to a temporary halt in the shooting schedule for “King.” Production is now expected to resume in September, giving the actor ample time to recover fully.
Additionally, Shah Rukh Khan’s pre-planned trip to Sri Lanka has been postponed. This adjustment allows him to prioritize his health and ensure a complete recovery before returning to his commitments.
A History of On-Set Injuries
This isn’t the first time Shah Rukh Khan has faced health setbacks due to demanding film shoots. He has a long history of injuries sustained while performing strenuous action sequences.
In 2002, he suffered a prolapsed disc during the filming of “Shakti” and underwent surgery in the UK. He also fractured three ribs and injured his left knee while shooting “Darr.”
His knee injury worsened during the production of “Ra.One” in 2011, requiring further surgery. Moreover, his left shoulder was injured in 2007 during “Dulha Mil Gaya” and again in 2008 while filming “My Name Is Khan.”
