Shah Rukh Khan shoulder operation success, star recovering

Shah Rukh Khan’s operation to relieve pain on a troublesome shoulder was a success and the star is recovering in hospital.

Masala.com reported yesterday that the star had opted to check into a Mumbai hotel to avoid the controversies surrounding his 2003 operation on his back.

"Shah Rukh is fine, he will be discharged after a few days," said a source close to the actor.

SRK’s family and close friend Farah Khan visited him in the Breach Candy hospital in south Mumbai after the operation.

The actor had to undergo an arthroscopic surgery for a nagging pain in left shoulder. Though he had planned to fly to London for the surgery, he chose to get it done in Mumbai under the guidance of Sanjay Desai, the orthopaedic surgeon at Breach Candy.

Shah Rukh told reporters before his surgery that he would take two or three months off to recover from the surgery.

"For Shah Rukh, the last few months have been quite busy professionally. There was "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" promotion as well as the shoot of Dulha "Mil Gaya" ,” an insider source told masala.com.
