Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan was spotted at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, showing his support for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). He was joined by his daughter, Suhana Khan, as they cheered for the team.
Social media was abuzz with images and videos of the duo on Monday evening. Despite rain causing interruptions, fans remained excited to see the actors in the stands. KKR opted to bat after winning the toss but faced challenges before the match was halted.
Dressed in KKR’s colors of white, purple, and gold, both Shah Rukh and Suhana donned jerseys, with Shah Rukh pairing his unbuttoned jersey with jeans, a dark beanie, and sunglasses. Suitably, Suhana styled her jersey with loose hair and jeans as well. Shah Rukh greeted fans who recognized him at the airport, prompting cheers and chants of “We love Shah Rukh.”
Once inside the stadium, eager fans captured moments of the pair, including glimpses of Shah Rukh conversing with KKR CEO Venky Mysore. The atmosphere was lively, with fans sharing videos of the actors waiting for the game to resume, and one fan even posted a light-hearted video of Shah Rukh enjoying makhana.
On the film front, Shah Rukh Khan recently starred in the highly successful films Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki in 2023, before taking a brief hiatus, having featured in three major releases within a year. He is currently working on Siddharth Anand’s upcoming project, King, which is rumored to include an impressive cast, including Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi, and others. While details are still emerging, the first look of King, unveiled last November, showcased Shah Rukh in a dark and fierce avatar, complete with silver hair and a bloodied appearance.
