Standing tall in support of his Knights, Khan played the perfect cheerleader. As the cricketers battled it out on the field, all eyes gravitated towards the stands where SRK was at his animated best.From hooting, and cheering, to even grooving to the tunes of the iconic ‘Don‘ movie soundtrack, Shah Rukh stole all the attention.
While Khan started the match on a cheery note, it sadly culminated in tears of disappointment as the match slipped away from his team’s grasp. Fans were moved to see the superstar overcome with emotion in the stands. Hearts broke on seeing the actor crouching into a ball as he struggled to hold back tears. Taking to social media, fans drew parallels between Khan and his iconic portrayal of Coach Kabir in ‘Chak De India’.
However, displaying true sportsmanship, Khan later made his way to the field to congratulate the winners and tried his best to cheer up his team players. With his trademark charm, he lightened the mood with jovial remarks, lifting the spirits of his team amid the disappointment.
SRK, who has yet to announce his next film project, remained dedicated to supporting his team throughout the season. The superstar also made sure to bring along his children, AbRam Khan and Suhana Khan, to join his cheering squad. Son Aryan Khan could not attend the matches as he is currently busy shooting for his directorial debut.
