Jahnavi Mehta in IPL auction: The future of KKR
Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan, children of Shah Rukh Khan, and Jahnavi were referred to by Juhi Chawla in 2022 as "the present" and "not just the future" of their team, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). At the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction ceremony, Jahnavi, Aryan, and Suhana were spotted together, representing their parents.
When asked if Suhana, Aryan, and Jahnavi are KKR's future in an interview with IndianExpress.com, Juhi responded, "Not just the future, they are the present of the team. It is very funny how there was a time when our kids would be at home and we would be on the screen. Suddenly, it was the other way around because I was home watching my daughter on-screen. It was beautiful. God bless her, Aryan and Suhana. I wish them all the best".
