"Please know we will definitely be making use of this, you will be seeing us more often," said Kajol.
"Does that mean I don't need tickets for the matches now. That I can carry this and come?," Shah Rukh enquired. "We will be the champions now."
Later, SRK took to twitter to thank the club for the honour.

SRK enjoyed his time at the stage by dancing and singing along with winners of a contest to popular numbers from his new film. The crowd sang along "Gerua" and "Janam Janam" whenever the video started playing on the background and the Bollywood 'Badshah' joined in.
He signed off with a dance with Kajol and his trademark 'arms wide open' which left the 30,000 odd crowd mesmerised.
