Juhi Chawla, a Bollywood diva, and Shah Rukh Khan, the King of Bollywood, are close friends both on and off the screen. They also share the same Indian Premier League franchise, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
But here’s the catch: Juhi confessed that it’s not as easy to enjoy and have fun with SRK while watching KKR play.
During a recent interview, Juhi Chawla expressed her excitement about the IPL. According to the actress, she watches IPL games just like millions of other fans. The adrenaline rush, nail-biting moments, and pure excitement of the game keep her glued to her television set. In the IPL age, this game isn’t just cricket; it is a throbbing spectacle of national importance.

However, Juhi Chawla provided an honest twist to the story. When KKR isn’t performing well, the mood during their viewing sessions grows intense. Shah Rukh Khan, well-known for his intense commitment to KKR, does not hold back. As a result, he “vents out his anger.”
“It is not good to watch a match with him (Shah Rukh Khan) because when our team is not performing well, he vents his anger at me. I tell him to tell that to the team and not me. So we are not the best people to watch the match with. I think the same goes for a lot of owners. They all can be seen sweating while their teams play.” She said.
