SRK returns to work after freak accident

Shah Rukh Khan was shooting for his home production Happy New Year in a suburban hotel on Thursday noon, when bad luck struck. The 48-year-old actor, along with Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani, was filming in the ground floor of the hotel. The sequence required them to walk out from the reception hall to the lobby. Director Farah Khan canned the shot in the first take but SRK insisted on a retake. Five minutes later, all hell broke loose.

An eyewitness told Mirror, "The actors returned back to their position and Farah called action. Abhishek, Sonu and Boman were walking ahead and Shah Rukh followed a few feet behind. Suddenly an unhinged door collapsed on him and he was on the floor." 

Farah, who was sitting behind the monitor, ran towards Shah Rukh without even calling 'cut'. Crew members also rushed to where he lay and picked up the door off him. "They saw blood oozing from his head, his shoulder was wounded as well," the source added. "So he was rushed to Nanavati hospital."

Gauri Khan was informed of the incident and she rushed from the couple's Bandra bungalow Mannat to the hospital. She reached the hospital before her injured husband and was by his side as he left around 4 pm. From the hospital, SRK headed straight to the set to complete the scene disturbed by the errant door.The crew were waiting anxiously for him and as soon as they spotted their hero, they all clapped and cheered.
