SRK’s OK after hospitalisation for heat stroke

HINDUSTAN TIMES (May 24, 2024)

The internet went into a tizzy ever since reports surfaced on Tuesday that Shah Rukh Khan had to undergo sudden hospitalisation in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. In what has come as a major relief for his fans, the actor was discharged from the hospital in the early hours of Wednesday and is feeling better now.

Khan’s manager Pooja Dadlani posted on her Insta Stories on Thursday afternoon, “To all of Mr Khan’s fans and well wishers- he is doing well. Thank you for your love, prayers and concern (sic).”

On Tuesday, Khan was at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where he attended his IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) playoff qualifier on May 21. The 58-year-old suffered a heat stroke during the game. On Monday, a red alert was issued for the ongoing heatwave in the state (with the mercury touching 46°C).

“God willing, he will soon be up, and in the stands on the weekend, cheering the team on, as we play the finals,” actor Juhi Chawla, who co-owns KKR, earlier told News18. Producer Gauri Khan, the actor’s wife, was spotted visiting him at the hospital on May 22.
