A Night to Remember
As co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan took center stage, interacting with fans and players alike. When he invited Virat Kohli on stage, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch. In a heartfelt moment, SRK called Kohli the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) and praised his loyalty to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, being the only player to have played for the same franchise since the league’s inception in 2008.
Kohli responded with humility, acknowledging the rising young talent in the IPL but asserting that experienced players like him still had a lot to offer. The night’s biggest highlight came when SRK challenged Kohli to dance with him. The duo set the stage on fire with their moves to the hit song Jhoome Jo Pathaan, leaving fans in awe.
