'Shah Rukh Khan would cry in the bathroom when his team KKR lost matches during IPL,' says numerologist: 'We changed uniform of the team and they won three cups'
may be enjoying a superstar status and gets immense love from all over the world. But deep down, he's a huge sports fanatic. He enjoys watching sports and also playing sometimes. Not to mention, he owns a team at
IPL
- Kolkata Knight Riders and he's seen cheering at the stadium for his team passionately.
While KKR have proven to be IPL winners three times, their initial years when IPL started weren't good. The team went through a lot of struggle and that was also displayed in the documentary titled, 'Living With KKR'.
In a recent interview, numerologist Swetta Jumani has revealed that she and her team suggested the star to change the colour of the KKR. She revealed during a chat with Hindi Rush, "Shah Rukh Khan is our client for KKR.
We changed the uniform of KKR, we told them what colour combinations to take. It is because of that that they won three IPL trophies. I had read him talking about how he would cry in the toilet over KKR losing matches in IPL.
Then we had suggested them to change their uniform from black and gold to purple and gold, now they have got three cups.'
In the documentary on the team, Shah Rukh had expressed, "He said, 'I have never wanted to be a part of IPL for personal success. As a matter of fact, I think, maybe, it lends to negatives in my career. I had never been booed in a stadium. I can walk into a crowd of a lakh people, sling a guitar around my neck and people would cheer me on. Sometimes, I go to stadiums here where I am booed and I think is this the same country where I am a big movie star?'
Shah Rukh was deeply devasted when the crowds at Wankhede Stadium booed at him when his team lost. Joy Bhattacharya who was a team director of KKR during that time said in the documentary, 'He wasn't devastated because we lost, but because of the way the city he had adopted, and been a part of for 20 years, the way they booed him

Shah Rukh Khan wins his 1st National Award: 5 life lessons to learn from the King of Bollywood
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. For over 30 years, he has entertained millions of people around the world with his acting, charm, and dedication to his work. He's been called the 'King of Bollywood,' has won dozens of popular awards, and starred in many iconic films. But in 2025, something special happened — he won his first-ever National Film Award for Best Actor, for his performance in Jawan. His journey to this honour has not been easy. It's been filled with ups and downs, hits and flops, love and loss. Yet through it all, SRK has remained strong, humble, and passionate. Here are five life lessons we can learn from his incredible path to this moment. Even though Shah Rukh Khan became a superstar very early in his career, it took him more than three decades to win a National Award. This teaches us that even if you are doing well, some achievements may take longer than expected. What matters is that you keep going, keep believing, and never give up. Success doesn't always come when you want it — it comes when the time is right. SRK started his career by playing villains, then became the ultimate romantic hero in the '90s and 2000s. Later, he took on more complex and action-filled roles like in Pathaan and Jawan. He has always tried something new and changed with the times. His journey shows that to stay relevant and grow in life, we need to be open to learning, changing, and trying different things — even if they scare us a little. There have been times when SRK faced failures at the box office, criticism from the public, and even personal heartbreak. But he never gave up or lashed out. He stayed quiet, focused on his work, and came back stronger. Life will not always be perfect, but how we deal with the hard times says a lot about who we are. SRK shows us that calm strength is more powerful than loud noise. Even after receiving one of the highest honours in Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan kept his message simple and sweet. He said, 'Overwhelmed with the love showered upon me. Half a hug to everyone today (sic).' He didn't brag or make a big speech. He just shared his love and gratitude. This reminds us that no matter how far we go in life, it's important to stay grounded and thankful. From the start of his career until now, Shah Rukh Khan's love for cinema has never faded. He puts his heart into every role and truly enjoys the process of filmmaking. He often says that acting and storytelling are like breathing for him — something he can't live without. His journey proves that if you are truly passionate about something, and you keep working hard at it, success will follow — even if it takes time. Shah Rukh Khan's journey to his first National Award is more than just a career milestone — it's an inspiring story of patience, growth, and passion. Whether you're a fan or not, there's something we can all learn from the way he has carried himself over the years. Keep going, stay humble, love what you do, and trust the journey — just like SRK.

National Film Awards: ‘12th Fail' is best film, Massey-Shah Rukh and Rani win best actor awards
Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail, which captures a young man's journey to become an IPS officer, was adjudged the best feature film at the 71st National Film Awards for 2023 announced on Friday. The film's lead actor, Vikrant Massey, shared the best actor award with Shah Rukh Khan, who won for his double role of a father and a son in the action film Jawan. This is Shah Rukh's first National Award in his glittering multi-decade career. The award for the best actress in a leading role went to Rani Mukerji for her portrayal of a mother fighting for her children in Mrs. Chatterjee V/s Norway. This is the prolific veteran's first National Award as well. Mukerji, 47, said: ' For me, this award is also a validation of my 30-year body of work, my dedication to my craft with which I feel a deeply spiritual connection…' The jury, headed by filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, praised Massey's performance as one with 'raw honesty and emotional depth'. Gowarikar also said Shah Rukh's first national award 'after such a long and prolific career' was 'historic'. Massey, 38, said it was a dream come true moment for him. 'It is a privilege to be sharing my first National Award with an icon like Shah Rukh Khan,' he said. While best direction went to The Kerala Story by Sudipto Sen, Karan Johar took home the award for 'best popular film providing wholesome entertainment' for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Asked about the award for The Kerala Story, which had sparked controversy, Gowarikar said: 'It's a difficult topic, and to convey that with this kind of clarity is something that we as a jury felt was the need to applaud.' The film also won best choreography for Dhindhora Baje Re, choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant. Meghna Gulzar's Sam Bahadur, a biographical war drama on the life and times of India's first Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, won 'best feature film promoting national, social, and environmental values'. Shilpa Rao won best female playback singer for Chaliya from Jawan and P V N S Rohit won best male playback singer for Premisthunna from the Telugu film Baby. Sachin Sudhakaran won best sound design for Animal. The Ranbir Kapoor-starring film shared the award for best music direction (Harshavardhan Rameshwar) with the Tamil film Vaathi (G V Prakash Kumar). While the Sanya Malhotra-starrer comedy Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery won best feature in Hindi language, the award for best screenplay was shared between Baby (Telugu), Parking (Tamil) and Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai (Hindi). The Telugu film Hanu-Man, a pan-Indian hit, bagged the awards in the best film in AVGC (animation, visual effects, gaming & comic) and best action direction categories. The awards for the supporting roles, both actor and actress, were swept by non-Hindi cinema. While the former was shared by Vijayaraghavan for Pookkaalam (Malayalam) and M S Bhaskar for Parking (Tamil), the latter went to both Urvashi for Ullozhukku (Malayalam) and Janki Bodiwala for Vash (Gujarati). The winners were chosen from a total of 332 feature film entries, 115 non-feature film entries, 27 book entries, and 16 critics' entries.
