In a recent interview, Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan expressed his admiration for former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli, labeling him as Bollywood’s ‘daamad’ (son-in-law). Khan, who co-owns the Kolkata Knight Riders, shared fond memories of his friendship with Kohli and his wife, actress Anushka Sharma.
Reflecting on their bond, Khan stated, “I just love him. We say that he is our son-in-law, he is our fraternity’s ‘daamad’.” Khan revealed that he has known Kohli and Sharma for a long time, having spent considerable time with them during Kohli’s courtship with Sharma. He reminisced about the days they spent together, emphasizing the strong camaraderie they share.
Khan even disclosed teaching Kohli the signature dance steps from his film “Pathan,” expressing disappointment at Kohli’s initial attempt during an India match. He humorously remarked about Kohli’s dance skills, offering to personally coach him for future performances.
The association between Khan and Sharma extends beyond personal friendships, as they have collaborated on several successful films, including “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” (2008), “Jab Tak Hai Jaan” (2012), “Jab Harry Met Sejal” (2017), “Zero” (2018), and “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” (2016).
