Shah Rukh Khan, the Bollywood superstar and owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), once again stole the limelight during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at Kolkata's Eden Gardens stadium. A heartwarming video of his post-match gesture is circulating online, showcasing his humility and love for his fans.
In the video captured by a fan, Shah Rukh Khan can be seen cleaning up the VIP section of the stadium, picking up discarded KKR flags from the seats and floor. Despite his celebrity status, Shah Rukh humbly takes on the task, demonstrating his down-to-earth nature. As fans cheer and call out his name, he graciously acknowledges them before giving a flying kiss as a token of appreciation.
After the match, Shah Rukh Khan took to the cricket pitch to meet players and fans. Sporting a purple KKR T-shirt and black pants with his hair tied in a casual style, he interacted with the crowd, spreading joy and enthusiasm. His daughter Suhana Khan, younger son AbRam, and Suhana's friend Ananya Panday were also present at the match, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
The match itself ended in victory for KKR, who secured an eight-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants. With four wins and one loss in five matches, KKR sits comfortably in the second spot in the IPL standings, thanks in part to Shah Rukh Khan's unwavering support from the stands.

This isn't the first time Shah Rukh Khan's presence at an IPL match has been associated with success for KKR. In a previous encounter against Delhi Capitals, his personal congratulatory gestures to players, including planting a kiss on Rishabh Pant's head, were captured on camera. His supportive demeanor and positive energy have earned him the reputation of being KKR's lucky mascot.
While Shah Rukh Khan's last film, "Dunki," released in December 2023, fans eagerly await news of his next project. Speculations suggest that he may collaborate with his daughter Suhana Khan for a film titled "King," although no official announcement has been made yet.
Shah Rukh Khan's recent actions not only showcase his love for cricket and KKR but also reinforce his status as a beloved icon cherished by millions across the globe.
