Shah Rukh Khan is enjoying the success of his film Pathaan and parallelly looks out to manage his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. During 2009¡¯s IPL, SRK¡¯s team player Cheteshwar Pujara suffered an injury as he snapped his hamstring. It was then that the superstar offered the batter¡¯s family and doctors from India to fly for him.

He shared with Indian Express, ¡° I saw the joy in his eyes on seeing me was in South Africa when his hamstring had snapped while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). We were keen that he returned to Rajkot and get the surgery done here. But KKR, rather the co-owner Shah Rukh Khan, insisted that Chintu gets treated in South Africa.¡±
¡°There was logic in what he was saying. Since rugby players often have this injury, doctors in South Africa were more used to these surgeries.¡±
Arvind continues to add, ¡°Shah Rukh was also of the view that Chintu had a great future ahead and should get the best medical support. To convince us, he offered to fly Dr Shah and any number of family members to South Africa. I didn¡¯t have a passport so I asked Dr Shah to travel alone. But he insisted that I too should take the trip. All the paperwork was done in record time and I was on a flight to South Africa.¡±
He added, ¡°I still remember the smile on Chintu¡¯s face on seeing me. There he was alone in a foreign country, confined to a hotel room for days while the rest of the team had moved to the next city for their game. He had sounded depressed on the phone. On seeing me, I could see the joy on his face. It reminded me of the little boy on the swing.¡±
