Afractured shoulder and a wounded knee, SRK’s count of injuries has increased with the freak accident on the set of Happy New Year on Thursday which saw a wooden door descend on him.

The 48-year-old actor, who was rushed to Nanavati hospital, headed straight back to the set after he was discharged, to complete the sequence interrupted by the accident.

But the actor will now have to drop the bravado as his physician has advised him complete bed rest.

A source close to him told Mirror, “Shah Rukh went through a fresh set of tests last night post the shoot. His right shoulder is fractured and the left knee patella is torn. Now doctors have advised him to take complete bed rest for the next three weeks.”

This means that Farah Khan will have to wait before saying ‘Pack Up’ on Happy New Year. The major sequences have already been canned but there some small portions which still need to be filmed. But Farah and SRK's co-stars, including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani will have to wait as Shah Rukh recuperates.

The actor’s shoulder has proven to be his Achilles Heel and over the last couple of years, he has spent much time sporting a supportive brace.

As recently as last year he had injured his shoulder while filming an action sequence for Chennai Express and had undergone a surgery in Mumbai.
 
Earlier in 2007, Shah Rukh had injured his left shoulder for the first time while shooting a cameo in Dulha Mil Gaya.

The next year, he suffered another shoulder injury, thanks to a mistimed jump in My Name is Khan.

Shah Rukh’s knee too has been giving him plenty of problems since the 90s. He suffered a dislocated knee during a running sequence in Rakesh Roshan's Koyla, but he soldiered and completed the shoot in Arunachal Pradesh. The problem aggravated when he was shooting for his home production RA.One in 2010 and he had to undergo a small surgery to correct the problem.

We can only say, get well soon SRK!

When Shah Rukh Khan met an accident on Thursday during a shoot for his film Happy New Year, the mishap was described as a minor one. But HitList has now learnt that King Khan has injured his shoulder as well and might have to undergo a second shoulder surgery.

An eyewitness recalls how a heavy door fell on the actor during his shoot. “SRK ducked but couldn’t escape the blow. Not only did he get a gash on his forehead, but he also hurt his right shoulder which had been operated upon last year," says the eyewitness.

Sources close to the actor say that Shah Rukh insisted on being inspected by Dr Sanjeev Desai, who had operated on the actor’s right shoulder last year. Dr Desai, however, says that the actor just needs to rest for a few days. “His shoulder bone has been bruised but there has been no damage to the portion I had operated upon. I have his MRI in front of me and I don’t think he will need a surgery. But yes, he will have to take it easy for a few days,” said Dr Desai.

The twitter-savvy actor made it a point o reach out to fans as well. “Have a few tests to do & Insha Allah, all will be good. Few scars maybe. Will show them off cos as they say, there r no scars for happiness,” ( sic) read SRK’s post.
