Juhi Chawla’s daughter, Jahnavi was seen participating in this year’s IPL auction ceremony and was accompanied by Shah Rukh Khan’s kids, Suhana Khan and Aryan Khan. The star kids had marked their presence in the place of their parents, Juhi and Shah Rukh, and had represented themselves as the new faces of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the IPL. In a recent conversation with The Indian Express, Juhi Chawla opened up on how she felt watching her daughter Jahnavi filling in her shoes. When asked if the kids can be tagged as the future of KKR, Juhi said:
“Not just the future, they are the present of the team. It is very funny how there was a time when our kids would be at home and we would be on the screen. Suddenly, it was the other way around because I was home watching my daughter on-screen. It was beautiful. God bless her, Aryan and Suhana. I wish them all the best.”
In February 2022, Juhi Chawla had taken to her IG handle and had shared a video and a loving note for her daughter, Jahnavi. The video had comprised a slideshow of adorable pictures of the mother-daughter duo from different time frames. Along with it, Juhi had bared her heart out in a heart-melting caption, expressing how proud she's of her daughter. Recalling their trip to Bali when Jahnavi was just a little girl and had shown immense interest in cricket, Juhi had penned:
"Ever since she was a little girl, Jahnavi didn’t just watch IPL, she began to watch cricket. Listening intently to the commentators, she began to understand the intricacies of the game. When she was about 12 years old, we were in Bali on a family holiday. At the hotel was a coffee table book, the size of (what used to be) a thick telephone directory, remember those ..?? It had the life stories, achievements, records, a sort of almanac, of allllll the cricketers of the world .. In the few days that we spent at the hotel, in between her jumping into the pool and behaving like a mad hatter, she sat at the poolside gazebo and read that book cover to cover …!!! It was so unusual and so intense. Which 12-year-old girl does that I wondered …?"

Further in the note, Juhi had shared how Jahnavi's interest in cricket had grown over the years and had added that her daughter has astounding knowledge about the world of cricket. The doting mommy had revealed that Jahnavi was the youngest person to be allowed at the IPL Auction table in 2019. She had added:
"As the years have passed her interest in the game has only increased. When cricket is discussed, her face lights up, she is happy and enthused. Her knowledge on the topic, is to me, astounding. Jahnavi set a sort of record of being the youngest person to be allowed at the IPL Auction table 3 years ago, she was just 17. Aryan and Jahnavi attended the last Auction, and this time Suhana joined them."
Earlier, in a conversation with The Indian Express, Juhi Chawla had talked about seeing the kids filling in for their parents at the IPL 2021 auction. She had also mentioned that both, Jahnavi and Aryan follow cricket religiously and understand the game perfectly. When asked about her reaction to seeing the kids fill in for them, Juhi had replied:
“Many little things come to mind, one was, how amazing is nature! In a glimpse, Aryan looked like a young Shah Rukh and Jahnavi resembled me so much! I was so glad the children are taking a keen interest in the team. They are not being pushed to do this, they are doing it because they truly wish to. They both keenly follow the sport. Jahnavi wakes up at odd hours of the night, to watch cricket matches in different parts of the world.”
On the work front, Juhi will be next seen in the film, Sharmaji Namkeen, which will release on Amazon Prime Video on March 31, 2022.
