Actor Saif Ali Khan undergoes elbow surgery, thanks doctors

Mumbai, January 22

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan on Monday underwent an elbow surgery after an old injury got aggravated during the shooting of his new movie.

The 53-year-old actor was reportedly admitted to the city’s Kokilaben Hospital after he injured himself while performing an action sequence on the film.

“This injury and the surgery that followed is a part of the wear and tear of what we do.

“I am very happy to be in such amazing surgical hands and thank all well-wishers for their love and concern,” Saif said in a statement post-surgery without specifying the nature of the injury.
