SRK gets boxing ring custom-made for his son Aryan

There is now a boxing ring at Shah Rukh Khan's home, Mannat. No, he isn't practising boxing for a film or preparing for a match with arch rival Aamir Khan.

King Khan, who is into all kinds of sports activities, had a boxing ring especially constructed for his 12-year-old son, Aryan.



The boxing ring at the Khan abode has been made by the 144-year-old sports shop Wagle & Co at Dhobi Talao near Metro cinema. Owner Manohar Wagle says, "We have constructed a children's boxing ring on the play floor in Mannat. It was challenging because we have never done something like this for an individual before. We are used to constructing for schools and clubs. The space was smaller. We had to reduce the dimensions and the height of the ring at Mannat but I think we did a good job."





Wagle says that Shah Rukh's people contacted him and they had specific instructions of their requirement, "Actually Aryan wanted a WWF wrestling ring where the ropes are more flexible but at the time, we didn't have the stretchable ropes. We finally used a substitute that isn't as stretchable."

Got it!

Now Wagle, who has lost contact with the actor, says he has managed to get his hands on the flexible ropes that Aryan wanted. "If Shah Rukh wants, I can put that in for him. I also want to Aryan's name printed and put on the four corners of the ring."

About Wagle & Co

The shop was founded by Manohar's great-grandpa, Raghunath G Wagle in 1865. It specialises in all kinds of sports goods and stuff like scuba diving, boomerangs, fishing rods, trampolines, as well as camping and mountaineering equipment. Wagle adds, "We heard that Shah Rukh was asking for a sports shop to put up a boxing ring but no one could do it. Then someone told him about us."

Wagle has photocopied and laminated the cheque given to him by the actor.
