After Kolkata Knight Riders’ victory against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League on Sunday, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter to congratulate the team and dedicate a Pathaan poster with an edited image of Rinku Singh’s face to the cricketer. The actor’s tweet read, “JHOOME JO RINKUUUUU!!! My baby @rinkusingh235 And @NitishRana_27 and @venkateshiyer you beauties!!! And remember believe that’s all. Congratulations @KKRiders and @VenkyMysore take care of your heart sir!”
Rinku Singh, who played a crucial role in KKR’s victory, responded to Shah Rukh’s tweet with a heartwarming message of his own. The cricketer tweeted, “Shah Rukh sir yaaar (face with tears welling up and heart emojis). Love you sir and thank you for your constant support (folded hands emoji).”
The exchange between the Bollywood superstar and the cricketer has warmed the hearts of fans, who have been showering the duo with love and appreciation. But what is it about Shah Rukh Khan and Rinku Singh that has captured the imagination of millions?
For starters, Shah Rukh Khan is not just a Bollywood superstar, but also a co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders team. The actor’s association with the team goes back to 2008 when he became one of the franchise owners. Since then, he has been a constant presence at KKR’s matches, cheering the team on from the stands and often taking an active role in team strategy and management.
Rinku Singh, on the other hand, is a relatively new addition to the KKR squad. The 24-year-old cricketer from Uttar Pradesh made his IPL debut in 2018 for Kings XI Punjab, before joining KKR in 2019. Though he has not played many matches for the team, he has impressed with his performances and is seen as a promising talent for the future.
But what is it that has brought these two together? It could be their shared love for the game of cricket, their mutual admiration for each other, or perhaps just the fact that they both share a bond with KKR. Whatever it is, their exchange on Twitter is a testament to the power of sports to bring people together and forge friendships that transcend boundaries.
It is heartening to see celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan using their platform to support and encourage young talent like Rinku Singh. By dedicating a poster to the cricketer and publicly acknowledging his contribution to the team’s victory, the actor has not just boosted the morale of the young player but has also set an example for others to follow.
As for Rinku Singh, his response to Shah Rukh’s tweet is a reflection of the respect and affection he has for the actor. The cricketer’s message is a reminder that even small gestures of kindness and appreciation can go a long way in inspiring and motivating people.
In a world where negativity and hate often dominate the headlines, Shah Rukh Khan and Rinku Singh’s exchange on Twitter is a ray of sunshine that reminds us of the power of positivity and love. As the IPL season continues, let us hope that more such heartwarming moments emerge, reminding us that sports are not just about winning or losing, but also about the joy of playing and the bonds we forge along the way.
