Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shahrukh Khan lavished praise of the former India and RCB skipper Virat Kohli, calling him Bollywood’s ‘Daamad’ (son-in-law) in a recent interview.
“I spent a lot of time with him, I just love him. We say that he is our son-in-law, he is our fraternity’s ‘Daamad’. I have known him the most compared to other players. I have known Virat and Anushka for a long time, spent a lot of time with them. I know him since his dating period was going on and I was shooting the film with Anushka. So, he spent many days with us, and became very friendly,” Khan told Star Sports.
Furthermore, the Bollywood star shared teaching the India cricketer the signature step to his movie Pathaan’s title song. “I taught him the Pathan movie title song dance steps. I saw him in the one of the India matches, he tried to do the dance with Ravindra Jadeja in the match. They were trying to do that dance step, I was very sad that they are doing it so badly! I told them that let me make you learn the steps so that in the next World Cup and other Championships, whenever you dance at least you will call me and ask how to do the steps,” Khan added.
The instance Khan shared dates back to the KKR-RCB game from last season, when he interacted with Kohli after the game and were caught on camera giving the famous step a whirl.
