SRK out of action for 2 months
Shah Rukh Khan is known for his high levels of energy. But when we met him at his house on Tuesday, we were struck by how tired he was looking. Just out of bed, he was dressed in a black jacket and had his arm in a sling. He spoke to us about his surgery and what he plans to do with all the free time he now has...

How long will it be before you can get back to work?
I have been told to rest for at least 60 days. In any case, I would not have been able to work because of the pain. Also, I can't take off the sling for two months. So, it seems like I will only start shooting after that.
Wouldn't it be better for you to move to a hospital?
Actually, I think it is better to be home. My family will take care of me and people can visit me here. I feel safe in my own home and my doctor has also been taking care of me here.
Will you be allowed to do any kind of stunts after you recover?
They have asked me not to use my arm too much. Even my exercise regime is very strict now. I'm not allowed to do much weight training because it will affect my shoulder.
Why did you choose Indian doctors this time?
Well, I think we have the best in India in every field these days. The last operation I had was done abroad but I have realised we have everything in India so I had this operation here. And, it was actually more fun because the doctors had such a good time taking pictures with me. That is something international doctors will not do! (Laughs). More seriously, I wanted to be close to my children. Now that their exams are close, I can help them study.
What you will do with all this free time?
Well, I will work on developing stories. And my house is big enough for me to wander around and entertain myself. Plus, my kids and wife are around. I will spend time with them and allow them to do some seva for me!
Will this injury find its way into your autobiography?
I don't know. I haven't really thought about it, but I think my spine operation was worse than this. It was a lot more painful, so let's see.
Any message for fans who are praying for you?
Thank you for all your prayers. The way I see it, I am their employee! My life is dedicated to entertaining all of you. I will do my best to get well and get back to doing that.
