Don’t think it was a revenge, says SRK

Chris Gayle might have chosen his former team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for his brutal onslaught, at the Eden Gardens, but KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan lavished praise on the Jamaican opener on Friday.

"Gayle has played really well. His was an exceptional innings," he said, on the sidelines of a promotional after the match. "But, I don't consider that he took revenge on us or anything. He is a great player and I wish him the best," he added.

The mega-star is overwhelmed by the way the home crowd is supporting his team. A nearly-packed stadium cheered for the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden on Friday.

"The way the crowd is cheering for us is simply mind-blowing. The fact that the team is getting home support is really heart-warming," he said

KKR have suddenly hit a slump after a hattrick of victories. But Shah Rukh is optimistic about his team making the last four.

"It's little disappointing losing two matches on the trot, but I don't think that will stop us from reaching the semi-finals.

"However, losing points in home matches mean we'll have to do really good in the away matches and the competition will get tougher from here on," he said.

"It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec
