Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar is known for having a thing for Bollywood as while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL), he bonded with and became a close friend of KKR owner and actor Shah Rukh Khan.
Akhtar who is popularly known as the Rawalpindi Express recently shared an adorable video of his cute son Muhammad Mikaeel Ali dancing to a popular song "Bum Bum Bole" from Aamir Khan’s blockbuster hit “Tare Zameen Par”.
“Amir khan work is still doing wonders for every kid & mines to keep it up,” the right-arm pacer wrote as the caption to his Instagram post.
Here’s the Instagram post by Shoaib Akhtar:
The Pakistani pacer who holds the record for bowling the fastest delivery has a lot of fans in India. The 45-year-old played the IPL back in 2008 before the Pakistani players were banned from the league.
While playing for the Kolkata-based franchise in the cash-rich league, Akhtar picked five wickets with an economy of 7.71. During his time with KKR, the quick bowler was often seen with Shahrukh Khan.
Recently a video of a TV show went viral where the host showed a picture of Shah Rukh Khan kissing him.
Shoaib Akhtar replied to the query by saying, “I asked Shah Rukh, why do you kiss a lot, to which he replied, I am a star and they are a fan of mine once in a lifetime. The minute I kiss them they become fans of me for the rest of their lives. I am a star and he is a star, and Shah Rukh makes people his fans for a lifetime by kissing them,” Shoaib added.
