SRK discharged, out of action for two months

MUMBAI: Actor Shah Rukh Khan, who underwent a shoulder surgery on Monday at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital, was discharged 24 hours later. Addressing the media at his bungalow, Mannat, the actor -- who had his arm in a sling and was accompanied by supervising physician Ali Irani -- said: "I'm in pain but I wanted to be home with my kids. That's why I requested the doctors to discharge me soon.''
The actor also told the media that he wasn't going to be allowed too many visitors for the next fortnight for fear of infection and he was expected to rest his shoulder for at least a couple of months.
"I will use this period to supervise scripts for my production house and even spend time helping my children with their studies,'' he said.
Thanking his fans, the actor said, "I'm hoping to be back, bouncing around with the usual energy. I've had even more major surgeries in the past, like the spinal chord one, and have come through.''
Khan started his physiotherapy soon after he was discharged from the hospital. Irani said: " I gave him his first session of phyisotherapy and he is doing well. We have started with his wrist and elbow and it will take at least 10-15 days before we start working on his shoulder. We will follow the protocol given to him by shoulder specialist Sanjay Desai.''
