In the caption, he revealed that he was being treated by the same man who had tied arm slings on Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan's shoulders when they were injured.

Kher also wrote about his mother Dulari's reaction to his shoulder injury. He also said that he is fine and that there's nothing to worry about.

"आप स्पोर्ट्स फ़िल्म करो और आप घायल ना हो!! ऐसा कैसे हो सकता है? कल #Vijay69 की शूटिंग के दौरान कंधे में अच्छी ख़ासी चोट लगी।दर्द तो है पर जब कंधे पर sling लगाने वाले भैया ने बताया की उन्होंने ही @iamsrk और @iHrithik के कंधों को इस स्लिंग से सजाया था तो पता नहीं क्यों दर्द का एहसास थोड़ा कम हो गया," he captioned his post.

He further wrote, "पर वैसे अगर थोड़ा ज़ोर से खाँसू तो मुँह से हल्की सी चीख ज़रूर निकलती है! फ़ोटो में मुस्कुराने की कोशिश genuine है! एक दो दिनों बाद शूटिंग जारी रहेगी।वैसे माँ ने सुना तो बोली, “और दिखा अपनी बॉडी दुनिया को!! तुझे नज़र लग गई!” मैंने जवाब दिया “ माँ! गिरते है शहसवार ही मैदान ए जंग में। वो तिफल क्या गिरेगा जो घुटनों के बल चले!” माँ झाँपड़ मारते मारते रुक गई! 😳💪😬😫😍 #HairLineFracture #IAmFine #DulariRocks."

Soon after he shared the post, several celebrities took to the comments and prayed for his speedy recovery.

Neena Gupta commented, "Arre re kya kiya." On the other hand, Chunky Panday and Guru Randhawa dropped 'get well soon' messages.
