Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan applauded Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Team India legend Virat Kohli by calling him Bollywood’s ‘Daamad’ (son-in-law) as well. Shah Rukh and Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma, have shared the screen in several movies in their cinematic career. SRK also danced with Virat Kohli after the match in IPL 2023 to the rhythm of
‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ as well.

In a recent interview with Star Sports, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about this. However, the fun and games aside, the on-field story of Shah Rukh Khan and Virat Kohli’s teams are poles apart in IPL 2024. While KKR have been in sublime form, winning six games, RCB are at the bottom of the table with only three wins in 10 outings as well.

“I spent a lot of time with him, I just love him. We say that he is our son-in-law, he is our fraternity’s ‘Daamad’. I have known him the most compared to other players. I have known Virat and Anushka for a long time, spent a lot of time with them. I know him since his dating period was going on and I was shooting the film with Anushka. So, he spent many days with us, and became very friendly,” he said.

“So, I taught him the Pathan movie title song dance steps. I saw him in the one of the India matches, he tried to do the dance with Ravindra Jadeja in the match. They were trying to do that dance step, I was very sad that they are doing it so badly! I told them that let me make you learn the steps so that in the next World Cup and other Championships, whenever you dance at least you will call me and ask how to do the steps,” Shah Rukh Khan concluded.

With every game being a must-win for RCB from hereon, RCB will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in their next match on Saturday, May 4. Meanwhile, KKR will try to a top-two finish with five games remaining and take on Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday, May 3 as well.
