Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was hospitalized due to heatstroke. He was admitted to KD Hospital in Ahmedabad on Wednesday afternoon, according to police reports. Ahmedabad (Rural) Superintendent of Police Om Prakash Jat confirmed the hospitalization, stating that Khan had suffered from a heatstroke.
Khan was in Ahmedabad to attend an Indian Premier League (IPL) match between his team, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Narendra Modi Stadium. He had arrived in the city two days prior for the event. Following the match, Khan and the team received a grand welcome at the ITC Narmada Hotel.
After his condition worsened the next morning, Khan was taken to KD Hospital around 1 pm, where doctors treated him for dehydration. His health is now stable, and doctors have advised him to rest. A source close to Khan informed News18 Showsha that he is doing fine and has no cause for concern.
Shah Rukh Khan’s wife, Gauri Khan, was seen arriving at the hospital shortly after news of his hospitalization surfaced online. Actress Juhi Chawla, a close friend and co-owner of KKR, also visited Khan with her husband Jay Mehta.
This serves as a reminder that Pakistan is also experiencing a severe heatwave, stressing the importance of staying adequately hydrated. The hospitalization of Shah Rukh Khan due to heatstroke highlights the serious health risks associated with extreme heat.
The Meteorological Department has warned several regions, including Umarkot, Larkana, Rahim Yar Khan, Bahawalpur, Sukkur, Naudero, Nawabshah, and Multan. The plains of Sindh and Punjab are particularly affected, with temperatures expected to be 4 to 6 degrees Celsius higher than usual. From May 23 to 27, these temperatures are anticipated to rise even further, reaching 6 to 8 degrees Celsius above average.
Islamabad and its surrounding areas are also expected to experience extremely hot and dry weather, exacerbating the overall situation.
To stay hydrated during this heatwave:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
- Avoid caffeinated or sugary drinks, which can contribute to dehydration.
- Eat hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges
