Shah Rukh Khan, the Bollywood superstar, enthralled the audience with his dynamic performance during the grand ceremony. King Khan commenced his act with an impactful speech focused on "Naari-Shakti."
In his words, "Welcome to the Women's Premiere League 2024. Hamara desh sadiyon se hi naari Shakti par depend karta hai, chahe wo bharat maa ho, dharti maa ho, Shakti maa ho, devi maa ho ya humare gharon mein baithi hui humari pyari pyari maa ho. Women have been running companies as CEOs, they have been running households as mothers and nurturing children. Women have always ruled." SRK commended women for "challenging all stereotypes" and extended his best wishes to the WPL teams for the upcoming matches.
"In a nation built on the foundation of Women Empowerment, no force can restrain women. They are poised to dismantle barriers and defy stereotypes in every aspect of life, including sports. The WPL initiative by BCCI, led by Mr. Jay Shah, reflects this sentiment. The upcoming 30 days transcend beyond just celebrating women and cricket; it symbolizes the empowerment of women as they ascend to establish their own realm, emerging as Queens in their Queendom," he expressed.
