Chak De India super cool star Shahrukh Khan (SRK) reached Johannesburg to watch the ICC World Twenty20 (2020 :-)) final match between India and Pakistan. The King Khan went there with his son. When TV camera first caught him on the balcony, the foreign commentators could not recognize the star, they were busy discussing the game, (I cannot recall who were there on the commentary box then, pls let me know) later probably when they were informed about the man himself (about good 10-12 minutes gone by then) they did mention him. A PR failure from Shahrukh's team? Wasn't it splashed in the media that King Khan was to visit the match to cheer for India.

Shahrukh also is immensely popular in Pakistan. So, in any case it was a win win game for him and his November release movie, Om Shanti Om. See the search trend in Google. In fact he is more popular in Pakistan and Morocco than India.
