Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan who essayed the role of a coach of women's hockey team in Chak De India, has taken up the cause once again.
The actor, who is a recent joinee on the social networking site Twitter writes "Thought Chak De will be good for revival of hockey. Reading the plight of women's team, should think on ways of survival of hockey. All of us."
The women's hockey team, who was upset that Shah Rukh Khan has not tweeted about the recent developments, has followed in the footsteps of their men counterpart. The men's hockey team successfully launched an open revolt last week and did not return to practice at a World Cup camp till they got their incentive cheques.
Though the women players have not boycotted the camp like the men did, but they sported black arm-bands during in practice as a mark of protest. The team had supported the men in their protest wholeheartedly, but was told that there was no money to clear the dues of its members.
Earlier this month SRK had tweeted for the Hockey players and said he felt awful.
Khan, widely praised for bringing the pathetic state of Indian hockey into limelight with his portrayal of a disgraced player who goes on to become a celebrated coach in the 2007 blockbuster Chak De India, had supported the revolting players.
