Recent Health Issues of Shah Rukh Khan
The biggest star of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, has been struggling with his health issues for several months now. The actor collapsed with a severe heat stroke in May 2024 while watching an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Ahmedabad. This forced him to be admitted at KD Hospital where he was treated for dehydration.
Due to his condition at the time, Khan was visited by his wife, Gauri Khan and long-time friend turned business partner, Juhi Chawla. Chawla later sought to allay the concerns of Khan’s status, saying that the actor was likely to regain his health shortly and be back on his feet, supporting his preferred team, the KKR during the IPL finals.
Challenges That Arise in Mumbai
After being discharged from the hospital after the heat stroke incident, Khan again consulted a doctor for an eye problem. On July 29, the actor went to a hospital in Mumbai for a planned eye check-up which turned out to be a complicated surgery. However, an unnamed source that Bollywood Hungama spoke to stated that the procedure was not as smooth as was expected.
The specifics of the treatment and the subsequent complications have not been made public, due to the actor’s health issues. However, the twist of events required further management and since Khan’s team did not have adequate facilities to manage the situation, they had to arrange a flight to the United States.
Rush to the United States for Specialized Care
