At the time, Shah Rukh Khan had tweeted, "Taking so many kids for the KKR match....it's like I am a class teacher in-charge of nursery to higher secondary..."
Talking about spending time with his children and the young players of KKR, Shah Rukh said that he and his wife Gauri Khan 'keep trying to be young.' "I am always happy. I have children 21, 17 and 5 so me and my wife (Gauri) keep trying to be young. Our children and the team keep us young," Shah Rukh Khan told IANS.
Apart from IPL matches,
Shah Rukh Khan has been keeping busy with his upcoming film Zero, which also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. On being asked, if he would give KKR's matches a miss due to his other work commitment, he told IANS, "No, no, I'm not going back... I will keep coming to support KKR."
The Aanand L Rai-directed film
Zero is slated to release to December 21.
