Superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently praised ace cricketer Virat Kohli, calling him the fraternity's son-in-law. In several films, SRK has appeared alongside Virat's wife, actress Anushka Sharma.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is close to celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. SRK and Sharma have been together in several films. The actor recently praised Kohli, referring to him as Bollywood's "son-in-law."

In an interview with Star Sports, SRK discussed his relationship with Kohli and stated, "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, spent a lot of time with them."

"I know him since his dating period was going on and I was shooting a film with Anushka. So, he spent many days with us, and became very friendly,” SRK added.

Last season, audiences had a peek of Kohli and SRK's friendship when they danced to the film's title single, Pathaan. Speaking about it, SRK said, "So, I taught him (Virat Kohli) the Pathan movie title dance movements. I saw him during one of India's matches. He attempted to perform the dance with Ravindra Jadeja throughout the match. They were trying to do the dance step. I was quite disappointed with how poorly they were performing. "I told them to let me teach them the steps."

Shah Rukh Khan has worked with Anushka Sharma on multiple films, including Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012), Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017), and Zero (2018). 

Anushka and Virat were married on December 11, 2017, in a magnificent ceremony in Tuscany, Italy. After nearly six years of courtship, the pair exchanged wedding vows. Anushka and Virat are parents of two children, Vamika and Akaay. 

On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan's last project was Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki, a testament to his versatility and talent. He shared the screen with the brilliant Taapsee Pannu, showcasing his ability to collaborate with the best in the industry.
