As co-owners of the Kolkata team, Chawla and Khan typically attend all of their team's matches together. Both Juhi and Shah Rukh can be seen spectating and cheering for their team from the stands, even when the team is losing. Juhi mentioned that watching matches with Shah Rukh can be challenging, especially when the team is not performing well, as he may vent his frustration at her.

She shared, 'It is not good to watch a match with him because when our team is not performing well, he vents out his anger at me. I tell him to tell that to the team and not me. So we are not the best people to watch the match with. I think the same goes for a lot of owners. They all can be seen sweating while their teams play.'

Adding jokingly to this, she said that Shah Rukh even starts instructing her as to how the game should've been played when it isn't going well. She said, 'Shah Rukh mujhe daantne lag gaye. 'Bowling kaise kar raha hai, bowling should be according to the fielding. This is not right I must call a team meeting.' Mereko daant rahe hai.'
