Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has undergone surgery on his shoulder at a Mumbai hospital for an injury which he suffered during filming last year.

Desai, who led a team of doctors operating on Khan, told reporters after the 90-minute operation. Khan injured his shoulder a while ago, but the condition was aggravated in December. His surgery had been postponed due to his movie commitments and he underwent physiotherapy sessions. "If he were to lead a sedentary life, there would be no need of the surgery," the actor's physiotherapist Ali Irani said.
Speaking before he went into hospital, Khan said: "I think when you are working in this kind of field where you have to run, jump and fall, after 20 years it's just natural to get these ailments."
