Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan underwent a minor eye surgery here, and he has joked that he can now "read even between the lines".

"A big thank you to Dr. Burjor Banaji & his lovely wife for doing my surgery. It's so good, that now I can read even between the lines," SRK tweeted Tuesday.

The 48-year-old underwent the surgery for vision correction and all is well now, a source close to him told IANS.

On a lighter note, SRK tweeted: `This is a joke...so some of u don't react to as an anti alcohol group. 'Now that I don't need glasses I will drink straight from the bottle'.`

His next Bollywood project is Farah Khan's`"Happy New Year".
