IPL gets celebs to up its glam quotient

New Delhi: The gentleman's game has changed forever as IPL adds a heavy dose of glamour to it.

Bollywood’s King Khan is busy flagging off the Paanchvi Pass Express at one end and worrying that all is well at the IPL front.

“I get very worried when a lady is mistreated, a child gets lost or water is not available or toilets are not clean,” says Shah Rukh.

He is the man of the moment with almost $ 75 million at stake. And his IPL team's winning streak is keeping Mr Khan's energy levels at an all time high.

It's not just SRK and family cheering the Knight Riders. The actor's private team of cheerleaders include the who's who of Bollywood. Apart from Arjun Rampal and Karan Johar who backed SRK in Bangalore, friends Farhan Akhtar, Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh and the Gandhi family cheered for the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Bollywood actress Priety Zinta began her IPL journey with a lot of zest.

“I am purely in it for the love of the game. I have always been a sportsperson. So, it is time for some action now,” says Preity.

Mukesh Ambani's Mumbai Indians sure got the Bollywood A-lister's support. It's not just Hrithik Roshan as the brand ambassador but also Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan who made appearance to back the team during its match on Sunday.

It is the brand ambassador of the Delhi Daredevils, Akshay Kumar who seems to be in a fix. Producers of Akshay's new film Tashan have tied up to promote the Mumbai Indians, which leaves the Delhi Daredevil stuck between two teams.

There is buzz in the media that Vijay Mallya has roped in Katrina Kaif for his Bangalore team, so apart from the cheerleaders, IPL has enough celebs to up it's glam quotient.
