Health Concerns for Shah Rukh Khan? Govind Namdev Reveals Toll of Hectic Schedule

Despite experiencing serious health issues, veteran actor Govind Namdev recently expressed his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan's undying work ethic. King Khan is one of the rare actors who works nonstop, frequently getting only three or four hours of sleep each day.

Shah Rukh Khan has been well-known throughout India for many years because of his work ethic and willingness to put aside health concerns. Veteran actor Govind Namdev recently told The Lallantop that he had direct experience of Shah Rukh Khan's perseverance in the face of severe back pain while he was working with him on the movie Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani in 2000.

Regarding his collaboration with SRK on the 2000 movie Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Namdev thought back. He revealed that SRK works around the clock to balance several obligations, such as going to the gym, learning dialogues, going to events, and performing. Despite Khan's serious health conditions, which included persistent back difficulties, Namdev was amazed by his enthusiasm and commitment. 

He revealed, “Ek hi hai banda jo 24 ghante kaam karta hai, sona bhi 3-4 ghante, ussi mei dand bhaitak bhi hai, udghatan bhi karna hai, dialogue bhi yaad karna hai, kahin perform karne bhi jaana hai, main hairaan ho gaya ki ye kaisa aadmi hai. Physical bahut zyada problem hai, reedh ki haddi ki problem hai, kaafi problem hai, dekh kar hame bhi sikhaaya."
