SRK takes a dig at Salman: I don't think CCL needs a 'smaller star like me'
Shah Rukh Khan's had some interesting comments about the CCL during a cricket event
Actor-producer Shah Rukh Khan Saturday said he personally doesn't have
time to play cricket and the Cricket Championship League (CCL) doesn't
need a "smaller star" like him
"I will be really honest... I am someone who believes professionalizing
sports in this country is perhaps the most important aspect if I can any
way get attached to it. I am happy that I am associated with it, " Shah
Rukh told reporters at the grand opening ceremony of the Toyota
University Cricket Championship (TUCC).
"I personally wont get time to play cricket so I don't think I will be
attached to anything else but if it requires me.. I think there are so
many stars in CCL, I don't think they need a smaller star like me."
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was the guest of honour at the opening
ceremony of the third edition of Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) and was
cheering for Mumbai Heroes - the team owned by his brother Sohail
Khan.
TUCC is a initiative to promote cricket at the university level to
contribute towards the revolutionary concept of promoting young talent.
Shah Rukh feels one needs to create alternate professions for youngsters in the country and sports is the greatest profession.
"Sports is perhaps the greatest profession in this country. We hope with
this, many more tournaments are created. This is just the beginning, "
he added.
He also feels there is no combination like sports and women.
"You have to start somewhere and this is just the beginning slowly, it
will spread to more places. Specifically if you ask me, then there is no
combination like sports and women. I would be really happy if it went
across
and women participate in it, " he said.
The first match of TUCC was held between Western Wolves of Mumbai University and Northern Stars of Jamia Millia Islamia.
