Shah Rukh Khan has long been the subject of numerous rumours - an inevitable downside of superstardom. The bigger the star, the more the gossip, and in SRK’s case, his health often becomes a talking point. Whether born of public concern or mischief-mongering, these claims have frequently veered into the realm of fake news. Has Shah Rukh Khan Gone Bankrupt?

One persistent rumour that refuses to die is that Shah Rukh Khan has been hospitalised following a heart attack. This hoax has circulated for years, often accompanied by doctored images and misleading posts, and has been debunked multiple times by fact-checking websites. Yet, like clockwork, the claim resurfaces every few months.

Rumour - Shah Rukh Khan Has Suffered a Heart Attack

Recently, social media was abuzz once again with the same allegation - that the Bollywood superstar had been hospitalised after a heart attack. The latest round of speculation was fanned further by several prominent social media handles that irresponsibly posted 'concerns' without verifying the information.

While it’s unclear who originated the latest rumour, once it went viral, netizens turned to Grok - X’s AI chatbot - for confirmation. Grok has been assuring users that the claim is false and that no credible news outlet has reported on such an incident.

Possible Cause of the Rumour

So, where did this rumour originate this time? It may have something to do with SRK’s cancelled visit to Sri Lanka. The actor was scheduled to perform at the launch of City of Dreams in Colombo on August 2. However, his appearance was abruptly cancelled, with organisers releasing a statement citing “unforeseen and unavoidable personal reasons beyond his control.”

This cancellation may have served as fuel for speculation, especially since a heart attack rumour was recently debunked by the fact-checking website Newsmobile just a week prior. The timing created the perfect storm for misinformation to spread.

Adding further context is the controversy surrounding the City of Dreams project. The venture has drawn criticism due to Sri Lanka’s recent decision to lift the ban on the import of casino machines, prompting political backlash and media scrutiny. As the project is said to feature luxury casino resorts, Shah Rukh Khan’s involvement could have sparked unnecessary controversy, possibly prompting him to back out to avoid political entanglements.

Moreover, SRK has been avoiding public appearances lately to conceal his look for his upcoming film King, in which he stars alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. This was confirmed by Anupam Kher, who shared that SRK declined an invite to the trailer launch of Tanvi The Great for this very reason. Kher stated, "I sent Shah Rukh the rough cut of Tanvi The Great’s trailer, and he loved it. He said, ‘Ghar jaate hi bachchon ko aur Gauri ko trailer dikhata hoon.’ I invited him to the trailer launch; however, he said he was in a certain look, and preferred to tweet about it instead."

Shah Rukh Khan Suffers Injury on 'King' Sets?

There has also been a report in Hindustan Times that SRK sustained an injury during the shoot of King and he has taken a month's break, though no official statement from the actor’s PR team has confirmed this and the exact nature of the injury is still unknown. Shah Rukh Khan Injured on the Sets of ‘King’ While Filming Action Sequence, Actor Rushes to US for Treatment: Reports.

Conclusion

For now, treat the reports of Shah Rukh Khan suffering a heart attack as completely false and unverified. Until the actor, his family, or his official team issues a formal update, there's no reason for concern. In the age of AI-generated misinformation and viral hoaxes, it’s best to rely on credible sources and wait for facts over frenzy.
