In a previous match at Vizag between the same teams, Shah Rukh Khan had a brief interaction with cricketer Rishabh Pant who plays for Delhi Capitals. SRK was congratulating the players after KKR's victory over DC. When SRK walked towards Pant he stood up to greet him. However, the actcor insisted he remain seated owing to his recent injury.
Now, in an interview with Star Sports, Shah Rukh Khan recalled his conversation with Pant in Vizag. He said, “I saw the video, that CCTV footage. Horrifying. These age boys are like my sons. Rishabh himself. When a sportsperson gets hurt, it’s a double jeopardy. I hope his knee gets fine. That is why I was telling him not to get up. I’m glad Rishabh is back, and I hope he keeps playing well.”
Meanwhile, donning a purple t-shirt Shah Rukh Khan was seen enjoying a thrilling match with AbRam in the viral videos on Monday.

From cheering for his team KKR from the stands to personally meeting and interacting with the players from both sides, SRK has been doing everything that is required to make him the best co-owner.
Interestingly, on Sunday, he took some time off his schedule and attended KKR's training session ahead of the match. SRK also brought his son AbRam to the stadium and made him see how boys train for the match. SRK added some more fun to the practice session by unleashing his inner "cricketer" side. In the videos posted by KKR's social media team and SRK's fan club SRK Universe, the 'Pathaan' star could be seen playing some shots.
However, the highlight of the training session was AbRam. In a few viral videos, AbRam was seen bowling to Rinku Singh, a pivotal player for KKR. Seeing AbRam bowling to Rinku left many fans nostalgic as they could not believe how big AbRam has become.
On the work front, SRK returned to the silver screen with Siddharth Anand's 'Pathaan' in January 2023.
The film in which SRK donned an awe-evoking action avatar broke several records at the box office and managed to grab a name in the list of one of the highest-grossing films in the Indian film industry.
The film also marked SRK's first hit after his sabbatical of four years after a series of flicks such as 'Zero' and 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. After 'Pathaan', King Khan returned to theatres in September with 'Jawan'.
The film once again saw SRK in an action avatar. The film collected over Rs 1000 crore . at the worldwide box office. Needless to say, SRK, who has had a phenomenal run, did not stop here.
In December, he came up with 'Dunki', which also did decent business at the box office.
Helmed by RajKumar Hirani, 'Dunki' focuses on the issue of immigration. Its title is taken from the term "donkey journey," which refers to the long, winding, and often dangerous routes that people across the world take to reach the places they want to immigrate to. He has not announced his next project yet.
However, if reports are to be believed, he will be seen sharing screen space with Salman Khan in 'Tiger vs Pathaan'. The film will reportedly have Tiger (Salman) locking horns with Pathaan, played by Shah Rukh Khan. It will mark their full-fledged collaboration after 'Karan Arjun'. The official announcement regarding the project is still awaited.
