While the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are having the time of their lives as they have literally destroyed the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) after being told to bowl first, the amount of Bollywood stars present at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is remarkable. Alongside the usual celebrities associated with the KKR camp— co-owners Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla with their families — there were other stars present, such as Ananya Panday and Sanjay Kapoor, along with his wife Maheep Kapoor.
Additionally, actors Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, who are part of the upcoming film "Mr & Mrs Mahi," graced the stadium. As part of their promotional activities, the two were seen at Chepauk, both wearing shades of neon green and enjoying the final match. The film, backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, is slated to release on May 31, 2024.
