Shah Rukh Khan recently suffered a major blow while shooting for Happy New Year which led to a head injury, a fractured shoulder getting and a torn knee patella tissue. It’s not the first time that the actor has been injured during a shoot. Known to perform daredevil stunts himself, injuries haven't stopped him, they have only pushed him to work harder. A source close to the actor tells Mirror that everytime he has injured himself, he has returned to the sets in a week or at best, in 10 days. And this has often resulted in having to undergo more surgeries later.
