Shahrukh Khan comes forward to support the employee of his company, Charu Khandal.
Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan has said that the fatal accident of the animator of his production company, Charu Khandal, is extremely unfortunate and he is praying for her speedy recovery.
Dismissing all reports in the media which suggest otherwise, Shahrukh, who just returned from a visit abroad said, “I have been worried about Charu’s health and have been in constant touch with people to inquire about it. I will also pray to God for her speedy recovery.”
The animator worked with Shahrukh’s production company Red Chilies Entertainment on the Bollywood star’s last home production Ra.One. She suffered serious injuries to her spine when the auto rickshaw in which she was returning home after a dinner, was hit by a speeding Honda car. Whereas her sister escaped unhurt, Charu and one of her friend Vikrant Goel, who accompanied her in the auto got seriously hurt.
Though Charu suffered serious injuries in the spine and had to be operated in the neck, Red Chilies refused to help saying that she is not a permanent employee. The company said that their rules do not allow to help temporary employees and Charu falls in that category only.
But now it seems that after the incident got reported in the media, Shahrukh has done a total U-turn on the issue and asked his production company to give full assistance to the injured animator. He has also deputed a person from his company at the hospital, who will be available round the clock to provide help to the family of the lady struggling for life.
A friend of Charu Khandal told a leading English Daily, “Shah Rukh Khan visited Charu on March 28th. He spoke to her family and assured them financial and moral support. He said as per the doctors and the treatment given, the hospital charges might go up to 11-12 Lakhs for Charu’s recovery for which someone from Red Chillies will get back to them. However, the family is predicting the charges to go much above the quoted amount, considering how precarious her condition is. So far, it’s only the family who has been paying the massive hospital bills. The hospital charges are not less either.”
Meanwhile, Charu Khandal has had a successful surgery and is on the path to recovery. Though doctors have said that she will never recover fully. Though some news reports are saying that Shahrukh Khan’s promised money has not reached yet to Charu Khandal’s family. And her family is hoping that promised help will reach her soon.
