Bollywood superstar and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) owner Shah Rukh Khan has turned up at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens to support his team.
He is accompanied by his daughter, Suhana Khan, to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). The actor sported peppered hair, his look for the upcoming film, King.
Suhana Khan accompanies Shah Rukh Khan to IPL
Numerous pictures and videos of Shah Rukh and Suhana have surfaced on social media on Monday evening. Even as rain interrupted the play between KKR and PBKS, many seemed taken by the actors in the stands. KKR won the toss and chose to bat against PBKS, but they seemed to struggle before the match was interrupted.
Both Suhana and Shah Rukh wore white, purple and gold jerseys to support their team. Shah Rukh wore his jersey with jeans and completed his look with a dark beanie and sunglasses. His pepper look could be seen peeking out from underneath the purple hat he wore for the match. Suhana left her hair loose and paired her jersey with jeans, too. The actor waved for fans who cheered as they spotted him at the airport and began chanting, “We love Shah Rukh.”
After they reached the stadium, numerous fans shared pictures and videos of the actors from the match, including when they were shown on the stadium display. Some pictures show him chatting it up with KKR CEO Venky Mysore, while others show him and Suhana waiting for the match to resume.
Fans even spotted them sharing makhna with one of them posting a video on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Pookie @iamsrk spotted eating makhana in Eden Gardens!!”
Upcoming work
Shah Rukh last starred in the 2023 films Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, and reprised his Pathaan role in a cameo in Tiger 3. The actor took a break after that, despite Pathaan and Jawan performing well at the box office, because he had done three films in a year.
He is now shooting for Siddharth Anand’s King. The film also reportedly features Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal and others in key roles, along with Anil Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. However, an official announcement of the cast is yet to be made. King’s first look was released in November last year. Shah Rukh appeared in a dark, menacing avatar, with silver hair and a bloodied face.
