Shah Rukh's heart beats for sports

Shah Rukh Khan is a keen sportsman. In school and college, he excelled in studies as well as football, cricket and hockey.

Later in life, he encouraged son Aryan and daughter Suhana to join in their school sportsteams.

Demonstrating his true sportsman spirit, he has chosen to not only associate with the university cricket championship, but has also chosen to speak about the importance of why the youth in our country needs to be encouraged to pursue a sport of their choice.

The Bollywood superstar says that sports should definitely not be limited to cricket. "I'm passionate about sports; be it cricket, hockey, football or badminton. So investing in a cricket team or my association with university cricket championship is a way for me to promote sports as a profitable career option for youngsters in the country today."

However, he clarifies that not all sports have a commercial consideration for him. "I'm passionate about a lot of things and do not necessarily look at them from a business angle. The basic aim here is to create a platform for youth in sports in India."

SRK also feels that Indian women need to indulge in sports.
