After Preity Zinta, Shah Rukh Khan appears to be skipping this season’s IPL auction. Shah Rukh's children, Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan, were Shah Rukh's substitutes during the pre-auction team briefing on Friday. Their photos from the event went viral on social media.
The official Twitter account of the Indian Premier League and Kolkata Knight Riders posted a few photos from the pre-auction event. Suhana was seen watching her brother Aryan converse with a man sitting near him in one of the photos. The brother-sister duo opted for white outfits for the event.
The IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders is co-owned by Shah Rukh Khan. His actor-friend Juhi Chawla, who is also the co-owner of the team, had her daughter Jhanvi Mehta fill in for her at the event.
This is Aryan’s first public appearance after he was embroiled in a drug case in October last year. He spent a month in jail and was released on bail later.
While Suhana is attending her first IPL event, Aryan Khan represented his father Shah Rukh Khan at the auction last year as well.
