King Khan is finally recovering from surgery for a tear on his left shoulder muscle. He was operated yesterday after he returned from London. He was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital in south Mumbai on Monday.

Shoulder specialist Dr Sanjay Desai, who performed the operation on the 43-year-old actor-producer said: "He resumed his normal diet and had a sound sleep. We have permitted him to go home."

Dr. Desai further added, "The arthroscopic method of surgery, which was performed on the star, does not require opening of the entire joint. The surgery ensures less pain and minimal scar."

Shah Rukh Khan had injured himself on the sets of "Dulha Mil gaya" in November last year. His doctors advised him last month to get the tear in the main muscle of his left shoulder fixed immediately. But he decided to undergo the operation after release of "Billu".
