While
Shahrukh
Khan
being
present
for
the
opening
IPL
match
at
Bangalore
was
a
foregone
conclusion,
what
surprised
many
at
the
stadium
and
those
who
were
watching
it
on
telly
was
the
presence
of
Arjun
Rampal.
The
two
actors
have
bonded
well
ever
since
they
were
seen
in
Don
and
Om
Shanti
Om.
While
Arjun
was
also
there
for
a
guest
appearance
in
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna,
King
Khan
too
obliged
by
appearing
for
a
blink-and-you-would-miss
performance
in
Arjun's
home
production
I
See
You.
Now
Arjun
has
extended
his
friendship
with
Shahrukh
Khan
by
supporting
his
KNIGHT
RIDERS
team
which
went
on
to
win
the
inaugural
match.
While
the
two
were
quite
demonstrative
about
their
support
for
the
team
and
were
seen
dancing
and
cheering
aloud
from
their
VIP
stands,
it
was
a
star
studded
affair
with
Juhi
Chawla,
Shilpa
Shetty
and
Gauri
Khan
too
having
fun
during
the
proceedings.
A
glam
studded
event,
the
first
match
in
IPL
has
turned
out
to
be
a
smash
hit
affair
and
one
can
expect
many
more
star
appearances
like
these
in
the
matches
to
follow
over
the
course
of
next
6
weeks!
