- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,February 28 2013]
At the opening ceremony of University Cricket Championship 2013 at CCI in Mumbai recently, Shah Rukh Khan said, I am very happy to be associated with University Cricket Championship.
Initiatives like UCC promise a brighter future for the young and aspiring sportsman of our country. I hope that more initiatives like this are taken to broaden the scope of sports in India. I wish lots of luck to the eight teams participating in UCC.
The event was also graced by music composing trio - Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy - and cricket star Rahul Dravid.
SRK, who will be next seen in Rohit ShettyÂs ÂChennai ExpressÂ, also urged to the Indian parents not to look at sports only as a hobby for their kids. I am a big speaker of sports as a commercial success. Parents should know that it can be a salary job. Your kids will be very proud of you.
I am passionate about sports be it cricket, hockey, football or badminton and platforms like this give me as a sports enthusiast a hope for a brighter future in sports of all kinds in India, he added.
