Juhi Chawla feels proud as daughter Jahnavi attends the IPL auction, shares a heartwarming video

Juhi Chawla, one of the leading divas of the 90s, stole millions of hearts with her performances throughout her career. After doing a slew of movies in the late 2000s, she acquired the rights for the franchise representing Kolkata in the Twenty20 cricket tournament Indian Premier League (IPL), along with her husband Jay Mehta, in partnership with Shah Rukh Khan for US$75.09 million, and named the team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

The Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) actress recently welcomed her daughter Jahnavi Mehta and Shah Rukh Khan's children Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan to their team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The Starkids attended the two-day mega auction event for the 15th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on February 13 and February in Bengaluru.

Expressing her joy on daughter Jahnavi attending the auction at such a young age, Juhi Chawla uploaded a sweet video of her with Jahnavi and penned down a heartfelt note. It read, "Ever since she was a little girl , Jahnavi didn’t just watch IPL , she began to watch cricket . Listening intently to the commentators , she began to understand the intricacies of the game. When she was about 12 years old , we were in Bali on a family holiday . At the hotel was a coffee table book , the size of ( what used to be ) a thick telephone directory , remember those ..?? It had the life stories , achievements , records , a sort of almanac , of allllll the cricketers of the world .. In the few days that we spent at the hotel , in between her jumping into the pool and behaving like a mad hatter , she sat at the poolside gazebo and read that book cover to cover …!!! It was so unusual and so intense . Which 12 year old girl does that I wondered …? As the years have passed her interest in the game has only increased . When cricket is discussed , her face lights up , she is happy and enthused. Her knowledge on the topic , is to me , astounding . Jahnavi set a sort of record of being the youngest person to be allowed at the IPL Auction table 3 years ago , she was just 17 . Aryan and Jahnavi attended the last Auction , and this time Suhana joined them . It is extremely kind of Mr Venky Mysore , our CEO who allows her to participate in important discussions and even encourages her to voice her views . He fondly calls her ‘ Coach ‘ . Of course she is just like a young intern , training at the KKR camp , but she feels so puffed about it. She is where her heart is , and it shows . As a mother I feel blessed , happy and proud of the little girl . She is extremely bright , has a long way to go , with Gods grace , she is on her way . jahnavi_mehta iamjaymmehta kkriders mysore.v".
