The IPL mega auction is underway, with 84 players set to be auctioned at Jeddah’s Abadi Al Johar Arena, as part of a two-day event. In previous IPL auctions, fans have often spotted Shah Rukh Khan or at least one of his children, Aryan or Suhana Khan, representing the Kolkata Knight Riders at the table. However, this year, all three were notably absent from the high-profile event in Jeddah. Speculation suggests that Shah Rukh Khan might be busy with personal or professional commitments, such as shooting for a film.
Meanwhile, co-owner Juhi Chawla had shared a photo from her flight, announcing her arrival in Jeddah for the auction. Yet, she too was not present at the table. Instead, her husband, Jay Mehta, and their daughter, Jahnavi Mehta, took charge for KKR. Jahnavi, who has been a consistent presence at recent auctions, continued to impress fans with her knowledge of the game and strategic involvement.
