Juhi Chawla says Shah Rukh Khan scolds her when KKR is losing IPL match, reveals what happens in team meetings

Actor Juhi Chawla, who is the co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team along with actor Shah Rukh Khan, shared what happens when they attend an Indian Premier League (IPL) match and the team does not play well. She made the revelation in an ‘uncensored’ video from The Kapil Sharma Show.

Juhi said that she begins praying fervently if things are not going in their favour. “Shuru ho jaati hoon bhagwan ko yaad karna, mantra padna. Sabke pair pad leti hoon main, Hanuman ji ko tak nahi chhodti. Gayatri mantra shuru ho jaate hai. Sab karti hoon main (I start praying to every god there is and begin chanting mantras),” she said.

“Idhar se Shah Rukh mujhe daantne lag gaye. ‘Bowling kaise kar raha hai, bowling should be according to the fielding. This is not right. I must call a team meeting.’ Mereko daant rahe hai. Main toh wahaan khadi hoon, mereko pata nahi kya karoon (Shah Rukh starts scolding me about the performance of our players. ‘How is he bowling, bowling should be according to the fielding. This is not right. I must call a team meeting.’ He scolds me. I just stand there, not knowing what to do),” she added.

If KKR loses the match, Shah Rukh calls for a team meeting. Juhi said that they go, expecting that he will give them a piece of his mind. “Wahaan par kya hota hai? Shah Rukh shuru ho jaate hai, idhar ki baatein, udhar ki baatein, iss match ki baatein, yeh mazedaar baatein, woh mazedaar baatein. Kisiko kuch nahi bolte. Just last mein, ‘Play well, haan.’ Meeting khatam (But what happens there? Shah Rukh starts talking about random, fun things and does not say anything to anyone. He just says, ‘Play well,’ at the end. Meeting over),” she said.

Earlier this year, Shah Rukh’s son Aryan Khan and Juhi’s daughter Jahnavi Mehta attended the IPL auction. Sharing a picture of them at the event, Juhi wrote on Twitter, “So happy to see both the KKR kids, Aryan and Jahnavi at the auction table... @iamsrk @KKRiders.”
