Midnight soccer with daughter Suhana proved to be a painful game for superstar Shah Rukh Khan as he hurt his ribs while playing.

"Have hurt ribs. Holiday soccer career nipped in the bud...bah!! Now to indulge in reading & videogames. Hurts only when I laugh or breathe," Shah Rukh wrote on social networking site Facebook.

The actor is holidaying in Dubai with wife Gauri and children Suhana and Aryan, and is enjoying the "luxury of nothingness".

"My lil girl team riding ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles) & shrieking like only girls can, breaking the still of the nite.

Nothing happening except just lounging and repairing laptop...the luxury of nothingness," he further posted.
