Shah Rukh Khan suffered minor burns and injuries while he tried to save Aishwarya Rai's manager Archana Sadanand from fire at the Diwali party hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
Sadanand had suffered 15 percent burns on her right leg after the fire incident and was rushed to a hospital in Mumbai where she was kept in isolation in the ICU to prevent any infections.
What is commendable is the fact that it was famed superstar Shah Rukh Khan who saved Sadanand from getting seriously injured after her lehenga caught fire.
The accident occurred around 3am, when only a few guests were left at the party.
“Archana was with her daughter in the courtyard when her lehenga caught fire. Those around were stunned and didn’t know what to do. Shah Rukh had the presence of mind, rushed to Archana, and put out the fire. He, too, sustained minor burns while dousing the flames with a jacket. His only thought was to put out the fire,” a source revealed.
Shah Rukh was attending the Diwali party with his wife Gauri Khan.
Meanwhile, sources at the hospital told Sadanand is recovering well.
