Juhi Chawla shares heartfelt note for daughter
On Thursday, Juhi Chawla shared a lovely note along with a video for her daughter, expressing pride in Janhavi association with the franchise.
“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. 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, she sat at the poolside gazebo and read that book cover to cover! As the years have passed her interest in the game has only increased, ” Chawla wrote in her Instagram post.
“When cricket is discussed, her face lights up, she is happy and enthused. Her knowledge on the topic, is to me, astounding. 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. As a mother, I feel blessed, happy and proud of the little girl. She is extremely bright, has a long way to go, with God’s grace, she is on her way,” she added.
KKR, under the leadership of Eoin Morgan, reached the finals of 2021 IPL. However, they suffered defeat at the hands of clinical Chennai Super Kings, who went on to win their fourth title. KKR will be looking to replicate their performance in this year’s tournament with Shreyas Iyer named as skipper for the franchise.
