Before the match began, SRK addressed the players, expressing his delight at seeing the team’s unity. He urged the senior and international members to mentor the younger players by sharing their invaluable experiences. “It’s always heartening to see us playing as a unified team. Ensure that the younger players grow into exceptional cricketers like our seniors and international players,” he remarked while thanking the younger members.
SRK’s iconic ‘Sattar Minute Hain Tumhare Paas’ locker room speech to female hockey players in Chak De India became a cultural phenomenon. Fans loved the speech not just for its emphasis on winning, but also for the joy of playing the game.
On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan enjoyed a remarkable year in 2023, delivering three consecutive hits – Jawan, Pathaan, and Dunki. Both Jawan and Pathaan emerged as the top two highest-grossing films of the year. The actor is yet to announce his next project.
