Shah Rukh's angels back from South Africa

The six cheerleaders for Kolkata Knight Riders team in IPL are on cloud nine even though they have not had the opportunity to cheer for their team at the ongoing tournament in South Africa.

Selected through NDTV Imagine’s show “Knight and Angels”, produced by SRK’s TV production house Red Chillies Idiot Box, the girls are just back from an all expenses paid 10-day trip to South Arica.

They were treated to the holiday as they could not perform at IPL after the venue was changed from India to South Africa.

For the cheerleaders - Ananya Bera, Sanna Chirawawala, Sunanda Hiroo, Rupali Kantharia, Ritika Chibber and Samyukta Surendar – it was an experience of a life time.
They got an opportunity to perform during the cricket carnival road show and drove around Cape Town in an open bus with the players and owners of Kolkata Knight Riders. They cheered to the team's theme song, “Korbo Lorbo Jitbo Re”.

The girls also watched three matches from the VIP box along with SRK and his family. They accompanied the team to a dinner party and interacted with most of the KKR players.

The went sightseeing and did some shopping in South Africa as well.
Says Ritika, "We were so excited to get an opportunity to go to South Africa. There were the players and there was Mr SRK."

"We were put up in apartments just opposite the hotel where Shah Rukh stayed," adds Sunanda, who has shifted base to Mumbai from Kolkata to seek a career in entertainment.

Adds Ananya, who is a Class 12 student, "This trip made us forget all the despair we had. Shah Rukh has told us that we will be the cheerleaders for KKR when the IPL will be held next year in India.”
