IPL 2025: Juhi Chawla gets DJ tribute at Eden Gardens during KKR vs RR match, and trust us, it was one of those moments that felt straight out of a Bollywood scene. But with cricket bats and roaring fans instead of camera cuts.
As KKR took on Rajasthan Royals in Match 53 of IPL 2025, the crowd at Eden Gardens got an unexpected emotional jolt when the DJ played 'Jaadu Teri Nazar’ while Juhi watched from the stands. A heartfelt musical nod to the one and only Kiran, it was magic, nostalgia, and pure vibe; all rolled into one. Shah Rukh Khan skipped this match, but Juhi showed up, just like she did during KKR vs MI last year with Suhana Khan and others. And while DreRuss smashed a 25-ball 57 to help KKR reach 206/4, Juhi’s moment with the crowd stole the show.

KKR co-owner Juhi Chawla isn’t new to Eden Gardens. She’s been turning up for years, supporting her team with grace, smiles, and the occasional dance from the VIP box. But this time, something special happened. As Jaadu Teri Nazar floated through the speakers, the crowd lit up. Phones came out, cheers echoed, and even Juhi seemed to soak in the moment with quiet warmth. It wasn’t planned, but it hit home — a small tribute, a big impact.
While the tribute turned heads, the cricket was just as fiery. KKR had a bit of a sluggish start after losing Ajinkya Rahane to Riyan Parag. But then Andre Russell did what Andre Russell does. Took his time, got his eye in, and unleashed fury — 57 off 25 balls. Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh chipped in too, helping Kolkata put up a mighty 206/4.
Juhi Chawla co-owns KKR with Shah Rukh Khan and Jay Mehta. SRK, through Red Chillies Entertainment, owns 55%, and Jay Mehta’s Mehta Group holds 45%. The trio formed Knight Riders Sports Pvt Ltd in 2008 and have been part of KKR’s journey ever since.
While Shah Rukh often grabs the spotlight with his high-energy stadium appearances, Juhi brings her own calm presence and has been a regular face at key matches. The team’s success, with titles in 2012, 2014, and now 2024, has a lot to do with their long-term commitment and behind-the-scenes decisions. With Shah Rukh missing this match, Juhi Chawla showing up felt even more special: a reminder that cricket isn’t just about scores; it’s about spirit, faces in the crowd, and moments like this.
