Will real life imitate reel life for Shah Rukh Khan

At a recent interview, a reporter left King Khan speechless. The reason - He asked SRK if he would play the encouraging coach he played in Chak De India for his cricket team, the Kolkatta Knight Riders. At first, SRK was too stunned to say anything and took a step back before retreating to safety backstage.

AFTER SRK’s cricket team Kolkatta Knight Riders' disgraceful performance at the IPL, rumours had it that SRK came back to India on the pretext of voting. But, in reality, the star wanted to get away from his losing team!

He said, “If my team continues to lose like this, I won’t be going back to South Africa. I will only go there when they play well. Once they come back, I’m going to ask them all what went wrong.” This statement caused a lot of controversy, and sources say that the actor even wanted to sell his team. However, SRK immediately rubbished that and said, “That is nonsense. I have invested so much love into KKR. Even if I wanted to sell the team, no one in the world would be able to match that.”

But, SRK need not worry so much since we’ve got the perfect solution that lets him make up for his losses… dancing at weddings. And at Rs. 2.5 crores an event, we’re sure the actor won’t be feeling the pinch for too long.

Shahrukh Khan no need return to SA

Shahrukh Khan need not bother to return to South Africa now to cheer his Kolkata Knight Riders. After the dismal performance of his much hyped team, he had returned back to India ostensibly to cast his vote in the General Elections.

He had said that if his team turned around, he would return to cheer them on. But, the miserable way in which the Kolkata Knight Riders folded up against the Delhi Dare Devils (minus Virendra Sehwag) came as a shock. The team batting first posted a fairly good score of 154 but was unable to defend it. The culprit was their inept fielding – dropped catches has become a habit. Also, Sourav Ganguli played the role of a player – nothing beyond that. He could have gone in to bat after the fall of the 2nd wicket (that of Brad Hodge in the 13th over) but did not. Neither did he bowl. Were these his own decisions or were these the wishes of the Captain and Coach? These questions might never be answered.

Stars don't favour SRK and Sourav

First Sourav Ganguly was dethroned from captaincy of Knight Riders, then there was the rumour that the team will have four rotating captains, and then reportedly there was a fallout between the owner Shah Rukh Khan, coach John Buchanan and Sourav. Now the team is at the lowest point tally in the IPL score sheet.

Some well-known astrologers provided us their 'starry explanations' for the above...

Explains Ajai Rai Madan, "Sourav Ganguly has a very strong Sun in his birth chart. He is born to lead independently.

What's hampering the situation is that there are two other powerful decision makers, SRK and John, who want to make decisions that may not be in favour of Sourav. It's like the case of two or more swords in one sheath. Moreover, Shah Rukh Khan has entered such a phase in life where his career has come to a plateau. He can only go down from here. And that's what you are witnessing before your eyes."

According to numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi, there's a logic why it's difficult for SRK and Sourav to get along for long. "Shahrukh is born on a day which is number 2 and Sourav is number 8. Two is moon and eight is Saturn making them arch rivals in numerology. On top of this, Shahrukh is in his 44th year which adds to eight again making it unfavourable for him. For Sourav, the year 2009 is unfavourable as it adds up to two. So there is quite a bit of contrasting situations for both at the moment," he says.

Other factors, according to Sangghvi, could be the black colour costume which is the colour of Saturn and is not good for SRK. Besides that, the team changed its name to only Knight Riders which is also not very lucky.

Bejan Daruwalla is of the opinion, "Jupiter, the planet of luck, has such force that when it works it can make the cricket ball fall between three fielders and no one can catch it. But when it doesn't work, then everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong. For both SRK and Sourav, the planet will not favour them this year."

Who will win the IPL
All three astrologers are very positive about Delhi Daredevils or Mumbai Indians winning the tournament this year!
