Kolkata, April 18 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan Sunday said he had taken a three-month vacation from shooting to be with his Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team which is in fine fettle in the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League.
“I have taken a 3-month off from my shooting schedule. I want to stick with this young team and win and enjoy after every win,” said SRK.
After KKR clinched their third consecutive win in the tournament Sunday, Shahrukh seemed exuberant.
“It really feels great that the senior guys are holding together the entire team. I have just come back from Ajmer sharif. I am praying more and more for the team.
“It feels nice that young kids are playing really well and the entire wins are coming together. Hopefully, we will continue this,” said Shah Rukh, who took a victory lap after his team hammered Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets.
He also expressed his disappointment over various reports during the last three IPL editions which had partially blamed him for the team not doing well.
“I have felt disturbed earlier to read that I have not been able to take the team where it should have been. It’s nice to win and I pray that I continue with it,” Shah Rukh said.
