Juhi Chawla, one of the co-owners of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL team alongside her husband Jay Mehta and Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, shared insights into their experience watching IPL matches, admitting that they're not the most relaxed viewers.
Chawla emphasized the inherent excitement of the IPL, describing how they're all glued to their television screens during matches, especially when their team is on the field. However, she confessed that as owners, they're consumed by tension.
"IPL is always thrilling. We're all on the edge of our seats. When our team is in action, the intensity is palpable, and we're all gripped by nerves," Chawla remarked at the Routes 2 Roots event in Mumbai.
Reflecting on watching matches with Shah Rukh Khan, Chawla humorously revealed, "It's not exactly smooth sailing watching with him. When our team isn't performing up to par, he tends to express his frustration, and I often find myself on the receiving end. I keep reminding him to direct his sentiments towards the team, not me. So, we're probably not the ideal companions for match viewing. I suspect many owners can relate; you can see them all sweating it out as their teams compete."
