Shah Rukh admits he is second to Aamir
It was only yesterday when superstar Aamir
Khan asked fellow actor Shah Rukh Khan what it felt like
being No. 2 to him. This didn’t go down well with fans of King Khan and a
response from the ‘Baazigar’ was imminent. So when SRK took the podium to
launch his Kolkata Knight
Riders (a Cricket team that he has bought to play in the
newly formed ICL), the next stage in this showdown was witnessed…
We all are well aware of Shah Rukh’s down to earth attitude towards all, be
it friends or foes, and Aamir Khan is no exception. When a member of the
present media asked SRK for a response on the Aamir statement, Shah Rukh joked,
“My wife has warned me. If I say anything about Aamir, she’ll beat me up. She
is an Aamir Khan fan.†He further joked, “Aamir is a dear friend and if he says
that I’m second to him then it’s a great compliment to him. Oops! That was a
genuine slip of the tongue. I mean it’s a great compliment to me.†Talking
about differences between the two, Shah Rukh explained, “We are complete
opposites. He is an intelligent, intellectual person. I’m more physical. I do
things, he thinks them out. I know his jokes, he knows mine. He is
The media hype surrounding this issue didn’t rest, a few minutes later another
journalist raised the issue. He asked Shah Rukh if Aamir was upset at him
because of a statement that Shah Rukh made before the release of Don… “There’s
Chengez Khan and then there’s Shah Rukh Khan.†To this, King Khan said,
“There’s Aamir, then there’s me and then there’s Chengez Khan… I guess. That
keeps changing. I’m proud of having learnt a lot from Aamir. One of my biggest
desires in life is to do a film with Aamir. We should not belittle the
importance of Aamir Khan by comparing him with someone like me. He is a
standalone, one of the nicest gentlemen and actors
in the country.â€
Shah Rukh’s wife Gauri was also present at this Mumbai press conference
along with his leading
lady Juhi Chawla. Captain of his Riders, Saurav Ganguly posed
for the cameras
with fellow team-mates Ishant Sharma, Akash Chopra and Murali Karthik .
What are your thoughts on Shah Rukh’s light hearted response to Aamir’s
hard hitting statement… do you think he put on a good face and joked but
inside, he is hurting… or do you believe that King Khan has no issues with no
one and is in a league of his own? If you were to decide between Aamir and Shah
Rukh as to which was the better actor, which one would you pick and why? Please
