SRK and Gambhir’s association goes back a long way back. Gautam represented the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders from 2011-17, which is owned by the Bollywood superstar. Both of the franchise’s IPL wins in 2012 and 2014 came under Gambhir’s captaincy. In 2024, Gambhir served as KKR’s mentor, guiding the team once again though it was his final year in the role.
Meanwhile, every year, SRK traditionally greets fans from the balcony of his home on his birthday, but this year, due to security reasons, he had to skip the usual meet. However, he didn’t disappoint his fans. Instead, he hosted a special event at Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir Hall, where he met and interacted with his fans
From dancing with his fans to interacting with them and giving a sneak peek into his personal and professional life, SRK did his best to express his gratitude to his fans who have always been there with him through thick and thin. (ANI)
