Mamta Banerjee prays for Shah Rukh Khan's recovery after 'King' injury

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has expressed concern over reports of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan being injured on the sets of his upcoming film King. Known to share a warm personal bond with the actor—whom she often refers to as her "brother"—Banerjee took to social media to extend her well-wishes.

“I was deeply saddened to hear that Shah Rukh Khan has been injured during the shoot of his new film. I wish him a speedy and full recovery,” she said in a public statement. “He is not just a global icon but also a cherished member of our Bengali family.”

According to sources, Khan suffered a minor injury while shooting a high-octane action sequence for King, his much-anticipated project co-starring his daughter Suhana Khan. While official details remain scarce, insiders suggest the injury isn’t serious, and the actor is currently recuperating under medical supervision.

Fans and well-wishers across India and abroad have flooded social media with prayers and messages, hoping for their favorite star’s quick return to good health and the film set.

Meanwhile, the production team behind King has yet to release an official statement about the incident.
