According to several news reports, superstar Shah Rukh Khan suffered an accident while shooting on a movie set in Los Angeles and had to undergo minor surgery. Reports add that the actor injured his nose and that he is now back in India and recuperating at home.
ETimes quoted a source from the U.S. who told, “SRK was shooting in Los Angeles for a project and he ended up hurting his nose. He began bleeding and was immediately rushed to a hospital. His team was informed by the doctors that there was nothing to worry about and that King Khan would need to undergo minor surgery to stop the bleeding.

Last seen in this year’s blockbuster Pathaan, Shah Rukh has Atlee’s Jawan, co-starring Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi, gearing up for a release on September 7. He will also make a cameo appearance in Salman Khan’s Tiger 3, following which he will be seen in the lead role in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki. The film, which marks his first on-screen collaboration with Taapsee Pannu, is scheduled to release in December 2023.
The news about the accident comes just days after he held an #AskSRK session to celebrate completing 31 years in the industry. During the session, one of his fans asked him about his popular song ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ being performed by Penn Masala during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the United States. “Wish I was there to dance to it. But they wouldn’t allow a train inside I guess,” replied the superstar.
National Press Day (November 16) was last week, and, as an entertainment journalist, I decided to base this column on a topic that is as personal as it is relevant — films on journalism and journalists. Journalism’s evolution has been depicted throughout the last 100-odd years thanks to pop culture, and the life and work of journalists have made for a wealth of memorable cinema.
