SRK had severe migraines while shooting for MY Name Is Khan

SRK was so into MNIK character that he gives himself migraines and a pain in the neck

Actors pick up injuries on the sets of their films. Shah Rukh's troubles on My Name Is Khan were a little hatke. The actor suffered from severe migraines and a crick in the back of his neck during the shooting of MNIK.

Phasaad ki jadh
Not prone to headaches, Khan ignored them the first few times, and popped pills when the pain continued. When that didn't help either, he decided to see a doctor.

The doctor diagnosed the cause of the headaches after going through the actor's medical history. The pain in the neck and the headaches were caused by the expressions and posture of Rizwan Khan, SRK's character in MNIK. Rizwan, who has Asperger's Syndrome, has a way of jutting his neck out at a particular angle and wears an expression which has his eyebrows raised in every scene. As he would shoot for hours, he'd get severe migraines. Today, he's been seeing a physiotherapist to get rid of the pain in his neck.

Director Karan Johar admits, "I guess that's one of the hazards when you play your role so intensely. Shah Rukh's character Rizwan had to arch his eyebrows and focus his eyes on a certain place before every take. Halfway through the shooting of the film, Shah Rukh developed severe headaches as result of all the pressure it would put on his head so he had to see a neurosurgeon for that. We were worried... Shah Rukh has never had this problem before"

Trait talk
Karan goes on to say that those afflicted with Asperger's develop certain physical personality traits, something SRK had intensely studied while shooting for MNIK. "In Asperger's, each trait is uniquely different from each person. Their way of talking to people, body language, way of holding their heads -- are different from one another. It's a high-functional autism where a person leads a completely regular life but has certain traits that sets him apart. Like apart from fear of noises and new people and places, Rizwan is also scared of the colour yellow and is emotionally disconnected to it."

  2. SRK, yes he is Khan. But only hero in films not in real life. He does everything for money. But he is shameless, when he ask our Hokey players to end the strike and not ask for money.
    instead he should have sponsored them to become a true hero of the nation.
