Kolkata franchise owner Shahrukh Khan called Rinku Singh on the stage during the opening ceremony of the IPL 2025. Rinku stepped on the stage and greeted Shahrukh Khan with a hug but it seemed that he completely ignored Virat Kohli. Although Virat was ignored but Rinku Singh did not mean any disrespect towards his ideal. Earlier a video also went viral of Rinku Singh asking Virat Kohli for another one of his bat. Rinku might be nervous while sharing such a prestigious stage with Shahrukh Khan and Virat Kohli and that might be the reason he was seen not greeting Kohli. Rinku Singh later was also seen twirling on Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Lutt Putt Gaya‘ song with him.
