Katrina Kaif at IPL

Shamita Shetty

B-town starlets have always shared an interesting chemistry with both Indian and international cricketers. The latest addition to that list are Shamita Shetty and Shane Warne.
Interestingly, Shane is the captain-cum-coach of the Rajasthan Royals, co-owned by Shamita's sister Shilpa Shetty and her beau Raj Kundra.
It is learnt that Shamita and Shane grew close during this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) tour. Reveals a source, "Warne is known to be a ladies' man. He met the younger Shetty just once before the IPL. They spent time during early post-win celebrations while in South Africa. Since then, they've bonded and kept in touch. The actress is familiar with Shane's colourful past and is wisely keeping her distance."
And so, while the matches were on in Cape Town, the players were put up at The Southern Sun, Cape Sun hotel. Meanwhile, Shamita was staying at The One And Only Hotel in Cape Town with sister Shilpa and her beau Raj.
Chupke-chupke
Sources claimed Shane was seen cosying up to Shamita at a South African nightclub. When the media got wind of it and landed up there, Shamita took the back exit and left.
On her link-up with Shane, she insists, "I've interacted with him only three times." About being seen at a club with him, she retorts, "It was a match-win party where all my friends and family were present and so were the RR players, Warne included. I wasn't there with him all alone."

Will SRK Join His IPL Team In SA?

Shah Rukh Khan

Might be quite upset with the performance of his IPL team- Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh is heading back to India with a reason to cast his vote.

Before the IPL matches were started, Shah Rukh was approached by one of the political parties (ANC: African National Congress) of South Africa to join them in their rallies as it’s also an elections time over there. But SRK politely declined it and will approach to India on Wednesday with wife Gauri, son Aryan and daughter Suhana.

But Shah Rukh has given warning to his team that if they did well in his absence, he would return; otherwise, he would be shouting at them from India. Shah Rukh had previously promised his team that he will there for every match, although his shoulder is injured.
