Actress Juhi Chawla and her hubby Jai Mehta along with Shahrukh Khan have launched an ambitious plan to build a cricket stadium in Porbandar, Gujrat. The reason why Mahatma Gandhi’s birthplace has been selected is because Jai’s family has roots there as well.
The Kolkata Knight Riders owners plan to take over the existing Duleep cricket ground in the city and build a state-of-the-art stadium to be named after Nanji Kalidas Mehta — Jai’s grandfather — in its place. The Mehtas also have other business interests in the vicnity of Porbandar.
Apart from adding another venue to Gujarat’s cricket itinerary, it is also being viewed as a centre where the KKR team can have training camps.
