Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is one of the top teams to bring glamor from the start in IPL. Although from the list of owners of this team, the cameras keep more attention on Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan (son and daughter of Shahrukh Khan) and Juhi Chawla's daughter Jhanvi Mehta, but the real attraction is Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla. The new generation is making its place but it seems like it was just yesterday that the franchise cricket team representing Kolkata in IPL was bought by Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan and actress Juhi Chawla. The celebrity owner and this association brought the team immense popularity – along with its share of success. Became champion in 2012 by defeating Chennai Super Kings in the final and in 2014 Kings XI Punjab Won the title again by defeating.
Initially, on the basis of shareholding, Shahrukh Khan and Juhi's company Red Chillies Entertainment had 99 percent stake. That is why Red Chillies Entertainment's name is written as the owner of the team. The actual owner was the franchise Knight Riders Sports Private Limited – this is also his company. After this the stake kept changing and now the owners are Red Chillies Entertainment (55%) and Mehta Group (45%). So this is the celebrity team and if you look at its dug out during the match, it will seem as if Bollywood itself has come there.
Juhi's husband Jai Mehta is a big name in the Mehta group but the one in discussion remains the bubbly Bollywood actress of her time, Juhi Chawla. Participated in Femina Miss India. Became Miss India Universe in 1984 in USA. She was also the National Costume winner then. One of Bollywood's standout actresses, a largely non-controversial star always in the spotlight.
Shahrukh doesn't need any introduction and his enthusiasm is clearly visible when the team is playing. The extent of madness was that he wanted to buy MS Dhoni for his team at any cost. When Dhoni was ready to return to CSK after representing Pune in 2018, Shahrukh had said – I am ready even if I have to sell my 'pyjama' to buy Dhoni – once he comes in the auction.
The secret of this team's success outside the ground is the friendship and amazing chemistry between Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla. Both have been friends for many years – there is something wrong, that is why Shahrukh has not maintained business relations with any of his other heroines. Over the years, Juhi has understood Shahrukh's temperament very well.
It is here that a strange story can be seen. If the KKR team is not playing well in a match, then Juhi knows what is going to happen? She once came on The Kapil Sharma Show and told there that if the team is not playing well, she immediately starts praying with all her heart – remembering God, reciting mantras, Gayatri Mantra and even Hanuman ji. Doesn't even leave.
Shahrukh, for some unknown reason, starts scolding her – as if she is the coach of the team and has not prepared the team properly. Then he says angrily – Call a team meeting. An angry team meeting is called. Then it seems that today no one is doing well. The meeting started – talks about this side, talks about that side, talks about this match and joking started. Don't say anything to anyone. He just says at the end – 'Brother, play well, yes.' And the meeting is over.
In this matter, only Juhi gets scolded but she has become used to it. Well, this season the team is playing well so far and Juhi has been spared from scolding.
