The Indian Premiere League is going on in full swing and amidst this Shah Rukh Khan recently spoke about his equation with cricketer Virat Kohli. Having known him for years, Shah Rukh Khan has a really nice equation with him. He not just spoke fondly of him, but also recalled the time when Virat was dating Anushka Sharma, saying that he had spent a lot of time with him as he would often visit Anushka on set. 

Talking to Star Sports, Shah Rukh Khan said, "I spent a lot of time with him, I just love him. We say that he is our son-in-law, he is our fraternity’s ‘Daamad’. I have known him the most compared to other players. I have known Virat and Anushka for a long time and spent a lot of time with them. I have known him since his dating period was going on and I was shooting the film with Anushka. So, he spent many days with us, and became very friendly."

Apart from that, during the IPL season last year, Shah Rukh Khan and Virat danced together to the song 'Jhoome Jo Pathaan', and fans were overjoyed as clips went viral on social media.

Recalling the moment, Shah Rukh said that he saw Virat trying to do the hook step with Ravindra Jadeja, but since they weren’t doing it well enough, Shah Rukh offered to coach them. "So, I taught him the Pathaan movie title song dance steps. I saw him in one of India’s matches, he tried to dance with Ravindra Jadeja in the match. They were trying to do that dance step, I was very sad that they were doing it so badly. I told them that let me make you learn the steps so that in the next World Cup and other Championships, whenever you dance at least you will call me and ask how to do the steps," he told Star Sports.

Meanwhile, Anushka's debut in Bollywood was alongside Shah Rukh in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' after which there was no looking back. The two worked together in several other films later on including 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' and 'Zero'.
