It
is
not
a
hidden
fact
that

the
newly

The

named
after
Bollywood
superstar
Shah

As

announced
that
the
Kolkata
Knight
Riders

some
hilarious

The

read
on

Cr.
Take
a
look
at
some
of
the
tweets
which
were
followed
by
the
announcement
of
the
same.
Naaam
hi
kaafi
hai..
Aur

aisa
nahi
ho
sakta..
😁😁
Now
real
veer
(cricketer
shahrukh)
will
play
against
reel
Veer
(actor
shahrukh)
team.
Now
in
match
it
will
be
shahrukh
vs
shahrukh
only
if
later
get
selected
in
game.
Not
only
Punjab
Kings,
the
IPL
team,
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
have
also
been
busy
with
the
auction
event
in
Chennai.
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
son
Aryan
Khan
was
spotted
at
the
occasion,
playing
an
active
role
in
the
bidding
of
the
team.
Apart
from
that,
KKR
co-owner
and
actor
Juhi
Chawla's
daughter
Jahnavi
Mehta
also
accompanied
Aryan
to
the
event.
Jahnavi
is
not
only
the
youngest
bidder
in
the
IPL
Auction
history
but
she
also
gave
some
BTS
glimpses
of
the
event
on
Kolkata
Knight
Rider's
social
media
account.
Talking
about
the
rookie
cricketer
being
named
after
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
the
actor
in
an
earlier
interview
had
interestingly
revealed
how
he
would
react
to
meeting
his
namesake.
The
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
actor
had
revealed
to
the
Times
Of
India
that,
"If
I
meet
him,
I
will
give
him
a
smile.
I
am
sure
I
will
be
feeling
quite
nervous
at
first.
But
I
won't
initiate
(a
conversation).
I
will
wait
for
him
to
say
-
'My
name
is
Shah
Rukh
Khan'.
Then
I
will
also
say
-
'My
name
is
Shahrukh
Khan
too'.
I
would
love
to
see
his
reaction.
I
am
sure
by
that
time
he
will
know
me."
We
would
definitely
like
to
know
his
reaction
to
his
namesake
joining
his
Veer
Zaara
co-star's
team.
