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.


EXPERT SPEAK
Physiotherapist Dr Aijaz Ashai says, “I'm sure Shah Rukh is exercising regularly. He needs to work on building muscle around joints and increase the endurance of muscle fibre. He also needs to rest for a while so an injury can heal. He has a flexible body and many people guiding him. 

1996 - INJURY NO 1 (Body Part –Ribs) 
One of Shah Rukh's first injuries was in the 90s when he fractured three ribs while shooting English Babu Desi Mem. But he was back on his feet in a jiffy, shooting for his next, Trimurti.

Post Shah Rukh’s recent injury, which initially impacted his shoulder, it’s now his knee that is giving him trouble. His doctor, Sanjay Desai said, “After the door fell on him, his kneecap has been badly bruised and it is quite painful. We haven’t decided on a surgery although it is always on the cards. But I gave him knee injections recently.” The doctor also said that though Shah Rukh is a lot better, he is not completely okay and that they are looking at other noninvasive options since he has already had nine surgeries for various problems.

MUMBAI MIRROR (February 4, 2014)

Ten days after an unhinged door came crashing and packed him off to a hospital, the indomitable Shah Rukh Khan resumes work today in Chembur for Farah Khan’s Happy New Year. 

Mirror has learnt that there will be no heavy-duty action or dance sequence and some of the shots have been modified keeping SRK’s fragile condition in mind.

The accident which happened on the sets of the same film, left the actor with a fractured shoulder and a torn left knee tendon. The doctor had advised him complete bed rest for a couple of weeks, but SRK has been hobbling around with a cast on his leg and a crutch manacled to his hand. He was last spotted at Ahaana Deol’s wedding having a long conversation with the bride’s mother Hema Malini.

Trust Shah Rukh Khan to find style even in injury. While his much-talked about golden sling has inspired many (latest being Esha Deol), the superstar was seen in a trendy knee brace at Dharmendra and Hema Malini’s daughter Ahaana’s wedding on Sunday.
 
It has been almost a week since Shah Rukh was injured while shooting for Happy New Year when a door came crashing on him at the set. His physiotherapist Dr Ali Irani says, “Shah Rukh is being treated by his orthopaedic surgeon Dr Sanjay Desai and me. Dr Desai has ruled out a fracture right now. There’s a deep contusion in the bone (indicated by a massive bruise). We are letting nature take its course and heal the knee naturally with a lot of rest at home and ice packs. My staff and I are giving him physiotheraphy. His knee is supported by a brace so he doesn’t bend it or hurt it by putting pressure on it. He’s also undergoing cryotherapy.”

BOMBAY TIMES (February 2, 2014)

Ever since Shah Rukh Khan suffered an accident, the Bollywood superstar's movements have become a topic of constant speculation. Not only is his shooting schedule being discussed avidly, even his social movements are being monitored.

Though SRK didn’t start shooting on January 30 because Farah Khan insisted he should get more rest, he has now committed to shoot on February 3, indicate sources. Yes, the same set for Happy New Year is standing at a suburban studio.

And though SRK has not been shooting since his injury, he has not been confined to his home either. He reportedly made a blink-and-miss appearance at a producer’s home. He then went to an NRI wedding in Udaipur and on Friday, Rohit Shetty apparently delayed his press conference by more than a couple of hours because SRK was scheduled to pay him a visit at his office in Andheri.

BOMBAY TIMES (January 28, 2014)

Even as his friends and family rally around Shah Rukh Khan, who hurt himself in a freak accident at a five-star hotel in Mumbai last week, speculation continues on when King Khan will return to work and shoot for Happy New Year.

While there are sources who have been putting two and two together and making twenty-two out of it, an insider says, "There is a strong possibility that SRK will join work on January 30. A huge set has been erected in a Mumbai studio. The plan is to shoot some key scenes and a song. Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani are also required to participate."

Mehul S Thakkar (MUMBAI MIRROR; January 25, 2014)

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.

Shah Rukh Khan, who got hurt while shooting for his next, Happy New Year, in a Juhu five-star on Thursday afternoon, has got a four-day break. Filming for Friday was cancelled and they had a break from January 25 to January 27. Rushed to Nanavati hospital immediately, the actor however, didn’t need any stitches for the injury resulting from the door that fell on him. Abhishek Bachchan and Sonu Sood were with him throughout. After the treatment, SRK returned to resume the shoot, but those around could sense his discomfort.

Says a source from the unit, “SRK felt pain in his shoulder and knees. He had his left arm in a sling, which he would remove every time he faced the camera. He also got bruises on his knees when he fell because of the door falling on him. He had trouble walking, but he managed to shoot his scenes.”
