The fact that many Bollywood stars are sports enthusiasts and a few of them even own a sports team is known to many. However, when it comes to B-Town actresses who have taken their passion for sports to new heights and even invested in a professional team, we can only think about Juhi Chawla or Preity Zinta – as no other name quickly pops up in the head.

Cricket being the most-loved sport of the nation, almost everybody knows about Indian Premier League (IPL), which is a popular domestic professional league. And if you follow IPL, you surely know that actress Juhi Chawla is the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team.
Juhi is not just a namesake owner of the team, she makes sure to be part of the IPL auction every year and even comes to watch KKR matches. She surely takes her role and the game too seriously.
