SRK suffers leg injury

Mumbai, May 18 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who has been busy with the shooting of his super hero film 'Ra. One' and action thriller 'Don: The Chase Continues', hurt his leg after it got stuck in a puddle recently.

The actor who attended the music launch of his forthcoming home production 'Always Kabhi Kabhi' here Wednesday looked chic in a black shirt and formal trousers, and he even walked straight. But a slight discomfort on his face couldn't be missed.

Asked about his condition, Shah Rukh told reporters: 'I have hurt my leg. I wish I could say it happened during the shoot of 'Ra.One' or 'Don'. But it happened when my leg got stuck into a puddle recently. I turned my leg to take out my foot and the meniscus (cartilage) got ruptured.'

Since Shah Rukh was a sports enthusiast since his school days, injuries have been a part of his life. While working in films, he first suffered a hairline fracture on his knee cap that he sustained while shooting for 'Koyla' in 1990s. In the past five years, he tore a shoulder muscle, suffered a back injury and has undergone surgery too.

He is also busy with his Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders.
