Amitabh Bachchan couldn't make it to the match, but that didn't stop his encouraging tweets. As soon as the last whistle was blown Amitabh tweeted 'WE ARE CHAMPIONS OF PRO KABADDI .. !!! YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !! COME OONNNNNNNNNN !!'
Abhishek who has always been a sports fanatic, now has also been roped in to represents a football team and is also the ambassador for an NBA Basketball clothing line in India.
Looks like all the hard work and prayers payed off.
The actors along with Big B were spotted on Sunday morning praying at Ganpati pandals.
The couple who are more reserved when in the spotlight couldn't contain their happiness and engaged in some cute PDA.
After all the celebrations, our cameras caught this adorable moment of Aishwarya hugging Abhishek.
Abhishek had fewer celebs as his guests this time to cheer for his team in the final. The last time he had Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar to name a few.
Their team players took turns to get their pictures clicked with the trophy and also with Abhi and Ash.
The Bollywood power couple then posed for some picture with the coveted trophy.
Ash too joined in all the celebrations, but it was clearly Abhishek's night.
Abhishek was all over the floor (quite literally) greeting everyone with a hug.
The actor who always on guard, let loose for a while and celebrated with his team and wife in a way we haven't seen before.
Abhishek started off the tournament on the wrong foot by loosing the first match, but after that, the team seemed to be unstoppable with a seven match consecutive win.
The win brought out some good reactions from the proud owner who could not seem to stop hugging his team players.
Abhishek's team will be the first ones to win the Pro-Khabaddi league, which was the first of its kind in the country.
Abhishek's Panthers scored a 35-24 victory in an action-packed summit clash in front of a full house with a number of celebrities in attendance.
