On Wednesday, Shah Rukh sat beside India’s most famous female sportsperson – Sania Mirza – to wish her luck for an event she may not play – the Sunfeast Open in Kolkata, which starts on Monday. Sania, thrilled to be sharing the platform with the superstar, said that Chak De! India would galvanise Indian women into taking up sports. “As a woman athlete coming from India, I believe that Chak De! India is great inspiration,” said Sania. “It encourages women to follow their dreams, not only in sports but in all spheres of life.
”While Sania spoke about her injury and other things, Shah Rukh ’s brand of humour kept popping up. “I have always been some sort of sportsperson,” he said. “I used to knock around different kinds of balls.”
