Shahrukh Khan licks his KKR IPL wounds at home!

Poor Shahrukh Khan is having a horrid time. His Kolkata Knight Riders finished sixth last year at the IPL. This year is worse. Rival teams rub their hands in glee whenever they are to play KKR. " Ho hum, a nice walk over for us," they say gleefully and they are always right.

SRK is mighty disheartened. He has come back to India and is not being seen in public much. Sulking at home, I guess.

His loyal pals stick by him. Says Farhan Akhtar, his Don director, “This IPL season may not go the way he would have wanted for his team, but I’m sure he will work towards getting it right the next time.”

Spoken like a true pal!

Aziz Mirza who debuted SRK in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and directed his home production, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, is equally supportive. “If he ever wants to sell his team,” says Mirza, “he will bring it right to the top and then do it. He will say, ‘I have done it’ and only then let somebody else take over.”

Astrologers are having a field day analysing the dismal performance of KKR.

Bejan Daruwalla is of the opinion, "Jupiter, the planet of luck, has such force that when it works it can make the cricket ball fall between three fielders and no one can catch it. But when it doesn't work, then everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong. For both SRK and Sourav, the planet will not favour them this year."

Poor Shahrukh! Stars are against the superstar! Heh heh heh!
