Shah Rukh Khan, an icon of Indian cinema and the proud owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), recently mesmerized fans with a stirring motivational speech reminiscent of his iconic monologue in ‘Chak De! India’.
A popular video from inside the KKR team’s dressing room, posted by a fan page, showed Shah Rukh Khan giving an enthusiastic speech to the players before their match against Lucknow Super Giants. He encouraged the senior players to share their knowledge and experiences with the younger ones, promoting teamwork and learning within the team.
Internet users praised Shah Rukh Khan for genuinely connecting with the players, appreciating how he got involved and cared for the team. They also compared his speech to his famous one in ‘Chak De! India’, where he inspires the women’s hockey team before an important game.
The popular video demonstrated Shah Rukh Khan’s leadership and dedication to KKR, while also showing his humble and devoted nature outside the cricket field. Another video had shown him quietly picking up KKR flags at Eden Gardens, which symbolized his strong support for the team without seeking attention.
