I will be back, hale & hearty: Shah Rukh Khan

Spicezee Bureau

Bollywood's Badshah is back after his shoulder surgery. Lined up in future are some projects that might be physically very demanding for the convalescing star. In the next six months when Shah Rukh is, hopefully, back to his normal energised self, he is to start work on Farah Khan's yet unnamed flick apart from a children's action-hero film, which might be a challenge in itself, physically.

The actor had not even come out of the cotton gauze and the dressing on his arm, than he was sitting in a tte--tte with Spicezee.com and the press. Fidgeting imperceptibly in pain, and often trying to hide the winces that kept punctuating his replies, King Khan was his hospitable best.

Excerpts:

Q: How was your experience in the surgery? Were you scared?

Shah Rukh:
The doctors were very nice. I was very comfortable.

Q: What have you been asked to do as exercise?

Shah Rukh:
They will give me some exercises to do, but later. Right now for two to three weeks I don't have to do anything.

Q: Why did you choose to be operated in Mumbai this time? You went abroad last time…

Shah Rukh:
We have the best people in every field here in India. Besides, I decided to be operated here because I wanted to be with my children The team of Ali Irani and Sanjay Desai is very good. Last time I went abroad because that particular specialisation was invented by that doctor itself who operated me. By then the technique had not reached India.

Q: How long will it take for you to convalesce?

Shah Rukh:
I will not be shooting for two and a half months, around eight to nine weeks.

Q: Reportedly, you have some high-action films lined up. How will you handle that strain?

Shah Rukh:
I haven't decided on that yet. When I am rehabilitated properly, I should certainly be up to that. It will be okay then.

Q: What will you do when you are laid up for so long?

Shah Rukh:
I will sit down and work on the uncompleted stories of my upcoming movies, take up the preparatory projects, be with my children for their exams are near. There is a lot for me to do, in fact.

Q: There are the IPL matches. Won't you be needed there?

Shah Rukh:
For the IPL team I don't need to be there all the time. Only one player needs to be bought. If I go, you all will just click good pictures of me, what else is there to do?

Q: Where will you be convalescing for the time you have been advised rest?

Shah Rukh:
I will stay at home for three weeks. By the grace of God my home is big enough so there is much space at my home to move about.

Q: Will you spend your time watching your movies, like 'Billu'?

Shah Rukh:
I don't watch my own films.

Q: If you are so ill, why did you agree for this press meet at all?

Shah Rukh:
If I say no to meeting you people, you all would feel you were not interesting for me to meet. I saw so many of you waiting outside, in all that dangerous hustle-bustle, so I asked to arrange a meet here, at least we will be able to talk safely.

Q: Will you be able to get back your legendary high energy levels after this surgery?

Shah Rukh:
Energetic again? I have had worse surgeries than this – the spinal surgery was the worst. I'll be fine, don't worry. What energetic thing do you want me to be doing? That young lady keeps asking me about some energetic thing to do… I feel like it is a proposal!

Q: Would you leave a message for all the fans who have been praying for you all these days?

Shah Rukh:
I thank all of you. I understand my work affects and touches a lot of people, most whom I don't even know. My illness is affecting a lot of people. I am an employee of you all. My life is dedicated to entertaining you all. I feel very bad when my illness adversely affects all of you. God willing, I will get well very soon.

Thankoo so much. It's the sweetest thing for him to care enough for the press and his fans to do a press conference so quickly after a surgery. This man knows only to give and give. May Allah bless him with health and happiness.

Bollywood star Khan in hospital


The star injured his shoulder further while filming in December
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has undergone surgery on his shoulder at a Mumbai hospital for an injury which he suffered during filming last year.
The 43-year-old, popularly known as King Khan, was hurt while acting in the movie Dulha Mil Gaya (I Found my Groom) in December 2008.
Surgeon Sanjay Desai said the star is recovering but will be out of action for "four to six weeks."
Khan is expected to be discharged by the end of the week.
"He is out of anaesthesia and is a bit groggy, but otherwise the situation is under control," Desai, who led a team of doctors operating on Khan, told reporters after the 90-minute operation.

Khan injured his shoulder a while ago, but the condition was aggravated in December.
His surgery had been postponed due to his movie commitments and he underwent physiotherapy sessions.
Doctors said Khan was advised to undergo surgery only because he was keen to do action roles and perform stunts himself.
"If he were to lead a sedentary life, there would be no need of the surgery," the actor's physiotherapist Ali Irani said.
Speaking before he went into hospital, Khan said: "I think when you are working in this kind of field where you have to run, jump and fall, after 20 years it's just natural to get these ailments."
Khan's latest film, Billu, opened in cinemas in India last week.
