Reportedly, this was Suhana Khan made her debut in the IPL auction while it was the second time for Aryan Khan and Jhanvi Mehta in place of SRK and Juhi Chawla. Talking to The Indian Express, Juhi said, “Many little things come to mind. One was, how amazing is nature! In a glimpse, Aryan looked like a young Shah Rukh and Jahnavi resembled me so much!”
“I was so glad the children are taking a keen interest in the team. They are not being pushed to do this, they are doing it because they truly wish to. They both keenly follow the sport. Jahnavi wakes up at odd hours of the night, to watch cricket matches in different parts of the world,” she added.
Besides, Aryan Khan made his first public appearance after his arrest in the Mumbai drug case. He was granted bail after spending a month in jail. Suhana Khan, on the other hand, was spotted coming out of director Zoya Akhtar’s office. It is speculated that she will soon be making her Bollywood debut in Zoya’s film.
