Many, including Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, cheered at Rishabh Pant's return as he recovered. In his most recent interview with Star Sports, the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders talked about his concerns over his knees and how he felt after watching the footage of cricket player Rishabh Pant's car accident.

Despite being horrified by the accident, his joy at Rishabh's well-being was evident when he insisted on him not getting up last time KKR played against DC. Mentioning that these youngsters are like his son @iamsrk @RishabhPant17 @KKRiders@KKRUniverse#ShahRukhKhan #SRK pic.twitter.com/kEksz1Bvso

Shah Rukh Khan in the video is seen calling Rishabh Pant like his son as the young cricketer's age is all of his elder son Aryan Khan. He added, “I saw the video, that CCTV footage. Horrifying. These age boys are like my sons. Rishabh himself. When a sportsperson gets hurt, it’s a double jeopardy. I hope his knee gets fine. That is why I was telling him not to get up. I’m glad Rishabh is back, and I hope he keeps playing well.”
