MUMBAI: Juhi Chawla, who co-owns the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) alongside Shah Rukh Khan and her spouse Jay Mehta, recently shared memories of the period leading up to the Indian Premier League's inaugural season. At a Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry event, Juhi revealed that Lalit Modi had asked her and Shah Rukh to purchase a team because he wanted "glamorous people" to own teams in the Indian Premier League.

Juhi revealed, “Lalit wanted that the owners should be glamorous people have some glitz to them and he approached us and said, Shah Rukh and you be one of the team owners. At that time, I thought in India, cricket and film industry, those are the two most popular things, I thought how nice if we can be a part of cricket.”
He further said, “We didn’t know anything about running a cricket franchise. So I remember going to Shah Rukh’s house for meetings, where (from) putting the jingle together, to thinking of what uniform they’ll have, everything was done in house,” she said and recalled how she didn’t like the first uniform of the players. “He made it black and gold and I was not happy with it. I thought ‘what is this black and gold?’ Because black is considered inauspicious.”
Juhi revealed SRK would have Kolakata Knight Riders’ meetings late at night. She said, “Shah Rukh used to be busy during the days. He was working a lot so our meetings would be scheduled for 10 pm. They would start by 11 pm. Then everyone would talk for a while so by the time the meeting would start, it would be 12-12:30 pm and I would start dozing off in the meeting. After 2-3 meetings, I stopped attending. I said you guys do this, I am not coming.”
