Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan was admitted to a hospital after suffering a nose injury at a film set in Los Angeles.

The 57-year-old actor was injured while shooting for one of his upcoming projects in the city. He began bleeding and was immediately rushed to a hospital.

“His team was informed by the doctors that there was nothing to worry about and that King Khan would need to undergo a minor surgery to stop the bleeding,” a source told ETimes.

The insider added, “Post the operation, SRK was spotted with a bandage on his nose. He is now back in [India], recuperating at home.”

It is unclear when exactly the accident took place.

Earlier this year, Khan broke his four-year hiatus by releasing his much-anticipated film Pathaan.

During a fan-meet session on Twitter, Khan revealed details of what he did during his hiatus.

“I just sat at home and watched all films that I could to become an audience again and not be a movie maker,” he said.

Soon after its release on 25 January, Pathaan made history by becoming the Hindi film with the most big-screen showings in cinema history. The spy thriller was being shown across 8,000 screens worldwide, according to NDTV.
