Explained: Why Shah Rukh Khan's Arm Is in A Cast In His National Award Video
Shah Rukh Khan won the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards. He thanked his team and fans on Instagram, where he was seen with his arm in a cast.
On Friday evening, Shah Rukh Khan added another feather to his cap, being named joint winner of the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards. While fans celebrated his big win, many were quick to notice the actor's right arm was in a cast in a video he posted on Instagram.
The Jawan star appeared dressed in a black polo t-shirt, black trousers, and a grey beanie as he expressed his gratitude to fans, family, and the team behind Jawan, including director Atlee. Khan said, 'I would love to spread my arms and share my love, but I am a bit indisposed. But don't worry! Just keep the popcorn ready. I will be back in theatres and soon on the screen." He even managed to pull off his iconic arms-wide pose — this time, with just one arm extended.
The actor also poked fun at his injury in the caption accompanying the post, writing, 'Overwhelmed with the love showered upon me. Half a hug to everyone today."
The injury, it turns out, was sustained during the shoot of his upcoming film King, which is being directed by Siddharth Anand. According to a report in Hindustan Times, the incident occurred while Khan was filming an intense sequence at a studio in Mumbai a few weeks ago. A source close to the production revealed, 'He was shooting in Mumbai when he was injured. The exact details of the injury are being held under wraps at the moment. It is more of a muscular injury and nothing serious. That being said, it is not being taken lightly. Shah Rukh has travelled to the US for medical attention. He has been suggested to take a one-month rest."
Due to the injury, the shoot schedule for King, initially planned for July and August, has been temporarily put on hold. The film marks a special collaboration, as it will see Shah Rukh sharing screen space for the first time with his daughter, Suhana Khan.
At the awards, Khan shared the Best Actor title with Vikrant Massey, recognised for his performance in 12th Fail, which also won Best Film. Rani Mukerji took home the Best Actress honour for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway.

1 2 Chandigarh: Declared a proclaimed offender in 2016, Sirsa resident Jagsir Singh evaded police for nine years by constantly changing his location and identity. However, his run ended with a dramatic revelation on Wednesday — he is Punjabi singer Baaz Sran, who just two months ago released a song likening a 'Sarkari Kothi' (govt residence) to a jail. In an irony of sorts, the lyrics of the song 'Sarkari Kothi' — which has 13 lakh views on YouTube — go: 'Jattan di sarkari kothi hundi jail kuddey (The official residence of Jatts is jail, lady).' Sran, who has 32,600 followers on Instagram and has sung duets with female singers like Deepak Dhillon and Gurlez Akhtar, was arrested by the Chandigarh zonal unit of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the alleged seizure of 36kg opium in 2015. Sran hails from Malikpura village in Haryana's Sirsa district. An official privy to the case said Baaz himself penned the lyrics and composed his songs. In May 2025, NCB published Jagsir's details in leading newspapers and announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Based on inputs received thereafter, he was arrested on Wednesday, the NCB said in a statement. The statement added: "During his absconding period, he gained popularity as a singer on social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram, amassing millions of views under a different identity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Plasma May Boost Your Income SpellRock Undo " At the time of his arrest, Sran was accompanied by a woman, said an official.

'Sarkari Kothi': A song about life of crime In the song 'Sarkari Kothi', Baaz Sran has also penned lyrics about facing charges under the Arms Act and an 'attempt to murder' charge against him.

Actor Darshan, Pavithra ask SC not to cancel bail in murder case
Bengaluru: Actor Darshan and co-accused Pavithra Gowda urged Supreme Court to uphold the bail granted to them by Karnataka high court in the sensational Renukaswamy murder case. The apex court had reserved its verdict after a lengthy hearing on Karnataka govt's plea seeking to cancel their bail. In his written submission, Darshan (accused no. 2 in the case) argued that bail should only be revoked in cases of serious violations, none of which apply to him. "Cancellation of bail is a harsh step that curtails personal liberty and shouldn't be taken lightly," his plea stated. The actor said he hadn't breached any bail conditions and there was no evidence against him when he was arrested in Mysuru for a crime that allegedly occurred in Bengaluru. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru Darshan claimed his arrest was based on inadmissible late-night disclosures by other accused, who went to the police station on June 10, 2024, and allegedly named him during interrogation. He insisted the crime scene narrative was constructed using handpicked witnesses while key individuals present at the shed on the day of the murder — such as Vijay, Basavaraj and others — were curiously left out by the prosecution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Accounting Help Made Simple legal directorate Learn More Undo He also highlighted procedural delays, including a three-day gap before the inquest and postmortem were conducted, allegedly due to identity issues. In her written submissions, Pavithra Gowda, accused no. 1, said no exceptional circumstances exist to cancel the bail granted to her. Countering their arguments, the govt pointed to Darshan's post-bail behaviour: He was seen socialising with Chikkanna, a witness, after being granted bail. Further, although he received exemption from court appearance on medical grounds in April (citing back pain), he was spotted at a film screening the very next day. 5th suspect held in Ramya case Cybercrime police arrested 23-year-old Manjunath from Koppal in north Karnataka on charges of sending abusive messages to actor Ramya.
