Shahrukh Khan discharged from Lilavati Hospital

May 30, 2013

Shahrukh_KhanMumbai, May 30: Superstar Shahrukh Khan was tonight discharged from suburban Lilavati Hospital here, a day after he underwent shoulder surgery.

The 47-year-old actor had hurt his right shoulder while performing some daring stunts for director Rohit Shetty's action drama "Chennai Express".

"The actor was discharged from Lilavati Hospital a short while ago. The surgery was successful. He is doing fine and has been asked to take rest," sources close to him told PTI.

Despite his injury, the actor had refused to use body doubles for "Chennai Express" and performed his own stunts. He also performed at the TOIFA awards in Vancouver recently.

Shahrukh's son Aryan, who is studying in London, had also flown down to be by his father's side.

The surgery was supposed to have been done earlier this month in London but was postponed due to the actor's busy schedule.

This is his eighth surgery, the last one being in 2010 when he injured himself while shooting for his home production 'RA.One'.

Once recovered, Shah Rukh will start promoting "Chennai Express" and begin work on Farah Khan's film "Happy New Year".

Washington, Jun 20: American actor Angelina Jolie has now opened up about her 2016 divorce announcement with Brad Pitt, which shocked fans.

Fox News said the 45-year-old Jolie opened up about leaving the father of her six kids,18-year-old Maddox, 16-year-old Pax, 15-year-old Zahara, 12-year-old, Shiloh, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

"I separated for the well-being of my family. It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing," the Oscar-winning star told Vogue India magazine.

The 'Maleficent' star added, "Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds. In fact, they are six very brave, very strong young people."

Since 2004, Pitt and Jolie were together but only married in August 2014 at their estate in France.

The 'Mr and Mrs Smith' star previously told Harper's Bazaar magazine how the last few years have been physically, emotionally and mentally turbulent for her.

"My body has been through a lot over the past decade, particularly the past four years, and I have both the visible and invisible scars to show for it," Jolie said.

"The invisible ones are harder to wrestle with. Life takes many turns. Sometimes you get hurt, you see those you love in pain, and you can't be as free and open as your spirit desires. It's not new or old, but I do feel the blood returning to my body," she added.

Besides her marriage ending on the public stage, Jolie underwent a preventative double mastectomy in 2013 followed by breast reconstruction after testing positive for the BRCA gene. In 2015, the actor 'Girl, Interrupted' star also had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed.

She admitted it has taken a while for her to feel like her old self. She said, "The part of us that is free, wild, open, curious can get shut down by life. By pain or by harm."
