Juhi Chawla started by writing, “Ever since she was a little girl, Jahnavi didn’t just watch IPL; she began to watch cricket. Listening intently to the commentators, she began to understand the intricacies of the game. When she was about 12 years old, we were in Bali on a family holiday. At the hotel was a coffee table book, the size of (what used to be) a thick telephone directory; remember those? It had the life stories, achievements, records, a sort of almanack, of all the cricketers of the world."

"In the few days that we spent at the hotel, in between her jumping into the pool and behaving like a mad hatter, she sat at the poolside gazebo and read that book cover to cover! It was so unusual and so intense. Which 12-year-old girl does that? I wondered... As the years have passed, her interest in the game has only increased," she further added.
"Aryan and Jahnavi attended the last auction, and this time Suhana joined them. Of course, she is just like a young intern, training at the KKR camp, but she feels so puffed about it. She is where her heart is, and it shows. As a mother, I feel blessed, happy, and proud of the little girl. She is extremely bright, has a long way to go, and with God`s grace, she is on her way," Juhi concluded.
