Senior actor Govind Namdev has expressed surprise at the physical condition and hard work of popular Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan. He said that despite suffering from various physical problems including spinal problems for a long time, Shahrukh has been working incredibly hard.

In a recent interview, Govind Namdev said that Shahrukh Khan has various complications in his body, including a very old spinal problem. Despite all these physical difficulties, he works for about 20 hours a day—which is really amazing. According to him, Shahrukh usually sleeps for only three to four hours. Even with little rest, he regularly exercises, memorizes dialogues and participates in various events despite physical hardship.

Govind Namdev also shared his experience of working with Shahrukh in the movie Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, released in 2000. He said that Shahrukh's extraordinary performance has impressed him since then. According to him, very few people have the ability to work day and night, and Shah Rukh is an exception in that regard. He does not think much about the limitations of his body.

Earlier in an interview, Shah Rukh Khan himself had mentioned his irregular lifestyle. He said that he usually goes to bed around 5 am. If there is a shooting, he reaches the set by 9 or 10 am after sleeping for four to five hours. After work, the star returns home, takes a bath and again spends time exercising.
