Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is currently focusing all his energy on the IPL 2024 matches. Owning the team Kolkata Knight Riders, he often visits the games with his youngest son AbRam Khan and is spotted cheering for his team as well as celebrating their win. Known for his warm and welcoming aura, he has created a lot of close bonds in and out of the film fraternity. He shares a unique bond with Anushka Sharma, who has starred alongside him in films like Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Jab Harry Met Sejal and Zero, and her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli.
During a recent interaction with Star Sports, SRK opened up about his relationship with Virat Kohli and expressed how they spent a lot of time with each other because of Anushka. Terming him as the ‘son-in-law’ of Bollywood, the actor revealed that he has known the cricketer for a long time. Quoted by Bollywood Shaadis, he said, “I spent a lot of time with him, I just love him. We say that he is our son-in-law, he is our fraternity's ‘daamad’. I have known him the most compared to other players. I have known Virat and Anushka for a long time, spent a lot of time with them. I know him since his dating period was going on and I was shooting a film with Anushka. So, he spent many days with us, and became very friendly.” ALSO READ: AbRam Khan Cutely Scolds Father Shah Rukh Khan During Their Playful Banter; Netizens In Awe As Video Goes VIRAL- WATCH

On the work front, after his movie Zero (2018) failed to do good business at the box office, the actor took a break. He went on to do cameo roles in movies like Lal Singh Chaddha, Brahmastra, and The Nambi Effect. He returned to the big screens with a bang in 2023 with blockbuster movies like Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. The actor is yet to announce his next project. If reports are to be believed, he will be making a return to YRF’s spy universe with Tiger VS Pathaan and Pathaan 2. He will reportedly be sharing the screen space with his daughter Suhana Khan for their upcoming film King.
