Why should players have all the fun? Bollywood and cricket go hand in hand, especially in the IPL. It’s not just about the movie stars; cricketers’ wives and girlfriends also play a pivotal role in the modern era. Welcome to our new segment Six Appeal, where we explore the support system from celebrities and the real celebrities for cricketers in their lives. Sunday was a blockbuster, with Shah Rukh Khan in Kolkata, Kareena Kapoor & John Abraham in Mumbai, and Ritika Sajdeh supporting Rohit Sharma.
In a doubleheader on Sunday, Shah Rukh Khan graced the first game at the Eden Gardens, supporting his team KKR. Other celebs present included SRK’s son Abram, daughter Suhana Khan, actor Rahul Bose, and actress Raima Sen. Mumbai’s Wankhede stadium saw its fair share of celebs during the MI vs CSK match.
King & Kin Cheer for Knights: Bollywood and IPL are a perfect match. The presence of Shah Rukh Khan, his daughter Suhana Khan, and actor Ananya Panday at the Eden Gardens added glamour to the KKR vs LSG match.
Who’s the Bose? KKR had ample support, with actors Rahul Bose and Raima Sen making their presence felt. LSG, lacking notable Bollywood support, fell short on the day.
Shootout at Wankhede: In Mumbai, the MI vs CSK match saw a star-studded gallery, with John Abraham among the spectators. However, CSK emerged victorious despite the star power.
Love via Crossed Fingers: Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, was there to support him, but even her crossed fingers couldn’t change the match result. CSK secured a 20-run win over MI.
Bebo for Hitman! Kareena Kapoor’s presence should have boosted morale for Mumbai, but CSK’s Mahi magic prevailed once again at the Wankhede Stadium.
