New sporty look for SRK’s cheerleaders!
Shahrukh Khan had decided to give a new sporty look for his pompom girls after the start of political debate regarding the presence of cheerleaders in the field. Cheerleaders of Shahrukh’s Kolkata Knight Riders will wear a new “designer” look at the next match at Eden Gardens on Tuesday.
Fashion czar Manish Malhotra is reworking on the dress for the spirited show women and they will be seen in their new attire with a colour combination of golden and black to match with the clothes of team members.
“Yes, I am reworking on the cheerleaders’ dress. I am trying to make it look sporty.” said Manish Malhotra.
When asked whether the new look will be decided on the basis of recent objections held on cheerleaders he said, “Certainly, it will be respected. I have kept this in mind while designing the clothes.”
Knight Riders franchisee Shahrukh Khan had reportedly stated, “If people feel that way we will certainly correct ourselves.”
Although Shahrukh has found nothing wrong in the glamorous dress and presence of cheerleaders for the entertainment of viewers but he decided to alter the dress code to avoid any further objections.
Maharashtra government has banned the cheerleaders telling the presence as ‘vulgar and obscene’. The dancing of semi-nude girls on fours and sixes hit by players gave rise to a controversial debate among political leaders.
