Shah Rukh Khan, who returned to Mumbai last night after shooting for his yet untitled movie with Yash Raj Films in London, will be visiting Ra.One animator Charu Khandal in hospital later today. SRK has wished Charu Khandal a speedy recovery. "It's very unfortunate. I've been in touch with the office. I'll look into it. I'll pray allah makes her fine soon. Inshallah," he said.
Doctors said that the 28-year-old, who recently won a National Award for Ra.One, is still critical. Charu is not in coma, but has been put on ventilator as she is unable to breathe on her own. Doctors have been unable to operate on her since her spine is swollen. Charu was returning home in the wee hours of Sunday, when a drunk driver rammed his Honda City into the autorickshaw she was travelling in.
Charu's friend Vikrant Goel, who was also with her, has been operated on and while his condition is critical, doctors are optimistic about his recovery. Meanwhile, Charu's family and friends have begun a Facebook campaign to garner support for her after the accused - Manoj Netrapal - walked out on bail of a mere five thousand rupees . Manoj's neighbours say he hasn't returned home since he was released on Sunday.
