Shah Rukh Khan has been in a celebratory mood as his team Kolkata Knight Riders won against Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets. We have seen him be the biggest cheerleader for his team and be there for them during the matches. He has a great bond with all his players and loves them.
Well, last year one of the KKR players Rishabh Pant met with a near-fatal car crash in Roorkee and suffered multiple injuries. The entire nation was worried for the cricketer and so was SRK. The actor in a video released during the KKR vs DC match last night spoke about his first reaction after the crash.
Shah Rukh Khan on Rishabh Pant’s accident
In the video, we can hear Shah Rukh Khan say that Rishabh Pant’s car crash was horrifying as no one knew the result of that accident. Dunki star added that he got the worst feeling after looking at the video. “To me, these boys are like my own sons. I have youngsters in my team as well. I hoped he wasn’t injured badly,” SRK told Star Sports.
The actor also quipped that a sportsman getting injured is a double jeopardy. He wished him all the best and hoped that his knee would fully recover soon. “In the last game, when I met him, I was telling him not to get up, it must be hurting. I was hugging him and asking are you well? I had not seen him before that, post the accident. I am really happy that he’s back, playing well and I hope he keeps on playing well.”
