Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's passion for his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), is well-known, but a recent revelation by numerologist Swetta Jumaani has shed light on the actor's emotional investment in the team's performance. According to Jumaani, Shah Rukh Khan would be so affected by KKR's losses that he would "cry in the bathroom".

Jumaani, a celebrity numerologist, claims that she and her team suggested a change in KKR's uniform colors to improve the team's fortunes. In an interview, she stated that they advised Shah Rukh Khan on specific color combinations to use for the team's jersey. The numerologist asserts that this change in uniform color from black and gold to purple and gold was instrumental in KKR's subsequent success, leading to them winning three IPL trophies.

KKR had a difficult start in the IPL, and the team's struggles were documented in "Living With KKR". According to Jumaani, Shah Rukh sought her advice after KKR consistently failed to perform well. She claims to have recommended that he change the color of his team's uniform, and that the team also changed its logo. The numerologist said that the shift to purple, a color associated with money, proved beneficial.

Shah Rukh Khan himself has spoken about the emotional toll of KKR's initial failures. He mentioned that he had never been booed in a stadium before owning the team and that it was a jarring experience for him, a stark contrast to the adoration he was accustomed to as a movie star.

While the influence of numerology on KKR's success is debatable, the team has indeed won the IPL title twice since changing its uniform colors. In 2012, the team adopted the purple and gold jersey, and also changed the logo. Shah Rukh has also said that he replaced black because he was told it wasn't lucky. Some numerologists also opined that the sun rays behind the logo would bring good luck.
