Especially Shah Rukh Khan sir ki team hai toh waese acchi lagni thi hume kyuki hum sir k fan hai. Toh yeh bada accha mantra bhi hai ki aap apni mehnat kare, lade apne saath or chahe jeete na jeeteh yeh baad ki baat hai (This is a very good tagline. Is this KKR’s? It’s very nice. Anyway, we would have liked it especially because it is of Shah Rukh Khan sir’s team and we are his fans. It’s a very good mantra that you work hard, fight, and whether you win or not, that’s a different matter).”
