Despite her busy shoot days, Ishita is making sure she doesn\u2019t miss out on cheering for her all-time favourite team\u2014Kolkata Knight Riders.
\n\u201cCricket has always been my escape, my joy, and during IPL season, it turns into a full-blown obsession!\u201d she shared with a smile. \u201cAs a proud Bengali, I\u2019ve been rooting for Kolkata Knight Riders since the very first season. There\u2019s something magical about cheering for your home team\u2014the connection runs deep. And of course, having Shah Rukh Khan associated with the KKR just adds to the charm. I mean, who wouldn\u2019t want to back a team owned by the King of Hearts?\u201d<\/p>\n
Even amidst the tight shoot schedule of Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, Ishita finds creative ways to stay connected with the game. \u201cI never miss a chance to catch a few overs\u2014even if it\u2019s just between scenes. My makeup room turns into my little cricket zone\u2014I\u2019ve got my phone propped up streaming the match, snacks on standby, and often, the crew joins in too. The energy is amazing! Whether it\u2019s a six from Russell or a magical over from Narine, we cheer like we\u2019re right there at Eden Gardens.\u201d<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s not just about the game, it\u2019s about the togetherness it brings. \u201cThat\u2019s what I love the most\u2014cricket brings everyone together. On set, we come from different cities, backgrounds, and roles\u2014but when KKR is playing, we\u2019re just a bunch of passionate fans sharing snacks, laughs, and nail-biting moments. It\u2019s the simple joys that make it so special.\u201d<\/p>\n
On a lighter note, she says with a laugh, \u201cWatching cricket has helped Chamkili too, she is picking up a trick or two to beat her competition, Chaina.\u201d<\/p>\n
