Shah Rukh Khan Receives Praise from Dr. Kafee Khan for Addressing Gorakhpur Encephalitis in ‘Jawan’ Film
Dr Kafeel Khan has expressed his gratitude towards the Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan Jawan Movie Director Atlee and the entire team of the jawan for taken the subject of 2017 Gorakhpur tragedy. He said in X Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to obtain your email address,@iamsrk sir . Consequently, I sent the letter by post, but that also showing in transit even after many days.
Therefore posting it here To The Honourable Mr. Shah Rukh Khan Indian actor and film producer Mannat, Land’s End, Bandstand, Bandra (West), Mumbai, Maharashtra – 400050. From Dr Kafeel Khan Ex assistant Professor BRD medical college, Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh-273001 Dear Mr. SRK sir , I trust this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I recently had the privilege of watching your latest film, “Jawan,” and I felt compelled to convey my deep appreciation for your extraordinary commitment to using cinema as a means to address critical socio-political issues. The movie’s poignant portrayal of the tragic Gorakhpur Encephalitis incident has left an indelible mark on my heart.
As someone who has had a personal connection with the incident and its aftermath, I was profoundly moved by your decision to bring this story to the screen. While I understand that “Jawan” is a work of fiction, the parallels it draws to the Gorakhpur tragedy serve as a powerful reminder of the systemic failures, apathy, and, most importantly, the innocent lives lost. It underscores the urgent need for accountability within our healthcare system . The character portrayed by@sanyamalhotra07 ( as Dr Eeram Khan ) although not directly referencing me, encapsulated the experiences I faced.
It was heartening to witness the real culprit of “ The Gorakhpur Hospital Tragedy “ got caught , though sadly in real life the real culprits are roaming free , me still struggling to get my job back , and those 63 parents who lost their little ones still waiting for justice. On a personal note, I would like to share that I have authored a book titled “The Gorakhpur Hospital Tragedy,” originally published by
@panmacmillan and available in more than six languages which provides a comprehensive first hand account of the tragedy and its aftermath. I believe that a part of the movie’s plot resonates with the events detailed in my book. If given the opportunity, I would be immensely honored to meet you and the talented director @Atlee_dir , as well as other members of the film’s crew, to express my gratitude personally.
I also want to assure you that my sanctification, devotion, and determination towards serving my countrymen would continue undeterred. Thank you once again for being a beacon of hope. I look forward to your kind reply. Warmest regards, Dr Kafeel Khan said in X.
