The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction this year witnessed superstar Shah Rukh Khan ’s children Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan along with Juhi Chawla ’s daughter Jahnavi Mehta filling in for their respective parents at the event. For the unversed, Shah Rukh and Juhi are co-owners of the team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). In a recent interview, being every bit the proud mother, Juhi called her daughter along with Aryan and Suhana to be the ‘future’ of KKR.

Juhi Chawla revealed to Indian Express stating, “Not just the future, they are the present of the team. It is very funny how there was a time when our kids would be at home and we would be on the screen. Suddenly, it was the other way around because I was home watching my daughter on-screen. It was beautiful. God bless her, Aryan and Suhana. I wish them all the best."

Earlier in February this year, Juhi Chawla had welcomed the new players for Kolkata Knight Riders namely Shreyas Iyer, Pat Cummins and Nitish Rana. She also called her daughter Jahnavi Mehta, Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan as the ‘young owners’ of the team. The Phir Bhi Dil Hain Hindustani actress had also shared a heartfelt post for her daughter wherein she had recalled how Jahnavi was passionate about cricket from a very young age.

Juhi Chawla had recalled that at the age of 12, her daughter had read a book on acclaimed cricketers word by word while they were on a family vacation in Bali. Furthermore, the Sharmaji Namkeen actress’ post read as, “Jahnavi set a sort of record of being the youngest person to be allowed at the IPL Auction table 3 years ago, she was just 17. Aryan and Jahnavi attended the last Auction, and this time Suhana joined them. It is extremely kind of Mr Venky Mysore, our CEO who allows her to participate in important discussions and even encourages her to voice her views. He fondly calls her ‘Coach'. Of course, she is just like a young intern, training at the KKR camp, but she feels so puffed about it.”
