Shah Rukh Khan races with his son at Eden Gardens after KKR match
Shah Rukh Khan, the co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders, ensured his first visit to the home ground in the IPL-10 became a memorable outing for his fans.
Spectators at the Eden Gardens were in for an additional dose of entertainment after KKR’s clash against Mumbai Indians on Saturday night as the Bollywood superstar sprinted with his little son AbRam on the hallowed turf. To the delight of the crowd, Shah Rukh twice ran short sprints with his three-year-old son.
Even after the match ended, about a third of the spectators sat glued to their seats, hoping against hope to catch a glimpse of Shah Rukh from close.
SRK trooped into the ground towards the close of the presentation ceremony accompanied by AbRam and Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani.
The actor, sporting a white kurta, waved and threw flying kisses at the spectators and made a lap of the ground during his 15-minute gig.
Midway into the walk, SRK suddenly stopped, bent down, and asked his youngest son to run some distance.
A little later, he again asked him to run, and there followed a virtual race between father and son.
Mumbai Indian allrounder Hardik Pandya, who attended the presentation ceremony, did not let the opportunity go, as he clicked a selfie with King Khan. The actor was also seen taking their photos on his mobile.
Despite KKR’s loss, Shah Rukh was in cheerful mood. “I wish we had won this match. This was the last game at the Eden,” he said.
