Akki wishes SRK's Knight Riders all the best on his blog. PS: Pehle Aamir, and now, Khiladi Kumar makes peace with King Khan
While Shah Rukh Khan's team has come under fire from all corners, it is Akshay Kumar who has come out in support of the actor.
In his latest blog, Akki who is presently shooting in Singapore, talks about IPL and more.
Best regards to KKR...
"The most important thing to me my IPL! I called up my producer and said I don't care where I stay even if it's in the back of a kitchen, I need to watch my IPL. Bad news, my hotel didn't have the channel so what else could I do but personally find the hotel manager and fold my hands in humble request and plead and plead for whatever it takes to please get that channel.
By the next day, I was sitting in my room watching KKR vs PK XI. Happy is not enough to describe how I was feelingu2026 And wow! What a season it's been. Seriously, I wish the best for all the teams, you have me on the edge of my seat, and I'd like to send my best regards to Shah Rukh Khan's Knight Riders, they've put up a good fight. So don't worry boys, you will always be loved.
A word for Preity...
And Preity Z, she has a tremendous fighting spirit, which I must say I adore, she makes us all proud.
And dear Shilpa...
What a comeback after the first match. Shane Warne and Yusuf Pathan have carried her team well. Keep smiling, Shilpau2026While we're on the subject of sports... as much as I love my cricket, my family has many sporting talents in them. My little girl Simar loves basketball, and she's won matches for her school already.
Cricket needs help
Most sports in India (unlike cricket) don't have that much funding or backing. So I did some research that I'd like you all to check out. Look up the "Harlem Globetrot-ters". They are an American basketball league that have taken everyone by storm, they are incredible at basketball but there's a twist, they go around performing the funniest comedian tricks in the arena which just leaves you with your mouth open in awe, seriously! Please check it out, because I feel that not being a world champion at a sport doesn't mean you can't hold a place in people's hearts with that sport. Those guys are champions but it ain't always about winning, it's the taking partu2026 So as I sign off, remember you don't have to be the Best to be Great, you just have to want to get up and take part in something.
Try a sport, people!
For a simple example, look where it's got Shilpa, I remember when she didn't know the difference between a wicket and a stump, now she owns half a team. And my daughter Simar may not be in the NBA yet, (she's only 9) but she tries and strives to be. So people be a sport, wake up and try a Sport.
