Shah Rukh says he is fine, to rest for three weeks

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who underwent a successful shoulder surgery here, was discharged from hospital today and said he was feeling fine but would take some rest and take care of his kids' studies.
"I am fine...But I will be taking rest for three weeks," he told reporters in suburban Bandra after he was discharged from Breach Candy Hospital, where he underwent the surgery to repair the tear in his left shoulder muscle yesterday after he returned from London where he attended the premiere of his latest home production "Billu".

Shah Rukh also said he would be travelling to watch Twenty20 cricket matches. "I don't watch my own movies," he said in a reply to another query. "I will take care of my children's studies in my rest period," he said.

Shoulder specialist Dr Sanjay Desai, who performed the operation on the 43-year-old actor-producer, told PTI that Shah Rukh had recovered well and so was discharged. "Shah Rukh has resumed his normal diet and had a sound sleep." The actor, with his left hand in a sling, looked cheerful and waved at fans, photographers and camerapersons waiting outside the hospital.

He had injured himself on the sets of "Dulha Mil Gaya" last November and continued shooting for Karan Johar's "My Name is Khan" in Los Angeles for 45 days at a stretch during which he experienced severe pain.
