IPL: Shah Rukh Khan is hogging all the limelight


Mumbai, April 12, 2009: Shah Rukh Khan is hogging all the limelight of Indian Premier League (IPL). Be it the issue of multiple captaincy of his team Kolkata Knight Riders or his response to Gawaskar, he is the man who always seem to be in the news.

He and his team look like trendsetter of IPL in more ways than one.

He was the first Bollywood superstar to enter and get an IPL team. He was followed by several other tinsel town stars including Preity Zinta who bought a team with her industrialist fiancé.
But this year he did another new thing that will surely followed by other teams religiously. He launched a manhunt for IPL cheerleaders and changed it into a money spinning machine. His Knight and Angels, a TV reality show to select cheerleaders for his team was a big success.

The hunt for beautiful and petite cheerleaders ended after six weeks of continuous evaluation of girls fromacross the country.

These six girls come from across the country. The lucky grils are Ananya Bera (Kolkata), Sunanda Hiroo (Kolkata), Sana Chirwawala(Nagpur), Rupali Kantharia (Mumbai), Samyukta (Bangalore) and Ritika Chhibber (Jabalpur). They were declared winners by co-owners of the 'Kolkata Knight Riders', Juhi Chawla and Shahrukh Khan in a glittering finale on Knights And Angels.

While talking on selection of the six beauties SRK said, “'Today is an important day in my life. I am going to have six new additions to my family of Kolkata Knight Riders and they are special, they are my Angels. Knights and Angels is not a part of the marketing strategy for my cricket team. It is an extension of my belief in spreading the awareness of sports in India. Cheerleading is a big sport in America and cheerleaders have their own fan following.”
