Shah Rukh Khan at an event in Mumbai
New Delhi:
Actor Shah Rukh Khan is recovering from knee surgery and confined to a hospital bed but he has access to Twitter and posted this wry comment on his series of hospital visits:
On Thursday, the 49-year-old actor underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee at Mumbai's Breach Candy hospital and has been prescribed three or four days in bed.
#GetWellSoonSRK has been trending on Twitter since news broke.
Sanjay Desai, who operated on the Fan star, said in a statement: "Mr Khan has been suffering from repeated pain and swelling of left knee over the last several months. Today's surgery confirms chondral wear of Patella, which is due to repeated injuries over the last few years. Based on today's arthroscopic evaluation, future management will be planned. He has recovered well and is likely to be discharged tomorrow (Friday)."
After going home, SRK will take a short break from filming Raees, which co-stars Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, and will resume work later.
SRK has a bad back and has been injured on set several times. While filming Farah Khan's Happy New Year, he fractured his shoulder and tore his left knee's patellar tendon.
