Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the qualifier one match at the Eden Gardens to enter the finals, enjoyed gorging on fish fry with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee here.
The actor visited Banerjee's residence post the victory celebrations here Wednesday.
"My KKR how beautiful were they tonight. Fish fry with Mamata Di, ride along the Kolkata roads with all celebrating," Shah Rukh posted on his Twitter page Wednesday.
Mamata too congratulated Shah Rukh for KKR's victory.
"KKR got a splendid victory. Congratulations to team KKR. Wish them all the best for the final," Banerjee said on her official Facebook page Wednesday.
"After the match, Shah Rukh came to my residence. It was really a very nice moment. My best wishes to Shah Rukh and his family members," she said.

Get fat, filmmakers request Dipannita
Slim and trim actress Dipannita Sharma, who will be seen in "Take It Easy", has been asked to put on weight for the role of a mother and homemaker in the family drama.
The model-actress, who has been admired for her close to perfect physique, is facing such a request for the first time.
Despite having an affinity to keep her weight in check, Dipannita has been trying hard to gain some weight and has only managed to put on three kg in the last two months.
She is yet to put on six to eight kg more, said a source close to her.
Her concern?
When she puts on more weight, her modelling assignments will have to be put on hold. Nevertheless, Dipannita has decided to go ahead with the weight gain for the sake of the film, the source added.
