Bengaluru, February 19: Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar and KKR co-owner Shahrukh Khan, attended his first IPL auction representing Kolkata Knight Riders table on Thursday (February 18) in Chennai and Preity Zinta had him grinning for a moment.

Aryan was filling in for SRK, who could not attend the event. He was spotted at the event seated next to Juhi Chawla's daughter Jahnavi Mehta, who was accompanied by her father Jay Mehta, who is also a co-owner of KKR.

During the auction, Preity Zinta, co-owner of Punjab Kings, bought Shahrukh Khan and Aryan Khan's reaction was literally to grin and bear it.

Punjab Kings beat of rivals for the signature of Shahrukh Khan, but it's the budding Tamil Nadu cricketer, who we are talking about here. As Preity's team snapped up the uncapped cricketer for Rs 5.25 crore, she let out an excited scream. Aryan, who was present at the auction couldn't resist a smile as cameras panned onto him.
