Why Sharukh and not Salman and Aamir

In my friend circle I am known for a hard core fan for Sharukh Khan and I do not admire the point of view of my friends who try to put across Salman, Aamir or even Akshay better than Sharukh. Because:

1. Aamir Khan- His Father and Uncle were well known movie producers of 80's and 90's.
Salman Khan- His Father, Salim Khan was well established story and script writer in bollywood.
SRK- Self made man.

2. SRK's first solid hit movie, Baazigar came after long 8 yrs of struggle in theatre, TV and bollywood. Interestingly this same movie before falling to SRK's kitty was first offered to Anil Kappor, Sanjay Dutt, Aaamir and Salman. But nobody has the vision or risk taking ability as SRK had. Also in the same time(1994) Salman and Aamir were already established actor in bollywood with hits like maine pyar kiya and dil respectively. So SRK entry was relatively very late.

3. Filmfare wards:In last 18 years SRK has won 14 filmfare awards in different categories. You know Aamir was present last in a Filmfare award ceremony in 1998 and was expecting best actor award for Raja Hindustani but Dil Toh Pagal lead actor(SRK) released in 1997 year end won this award. Same happened for Aamir when he was expecting same award for Rangeela but it fell into SRK's kitty for DDLJ in 1995. After this Aamir was never seen in an award ceremony. He just can't take heart breaks multiple times.
4. One woman man: Salman had affairs with Sangeeta Bijlani to Somi ALi to Aishwarya Rai to Katrina and many more which did not came into media's radar.But let him enjoy!!!! Talking about Aamir- He was married before he debuted into bollywood and it was a love marriage same as SRK. But his illicit child with Jessica Hines and then marrying Kiran Rao in 2005 raises question on his commitments. Do I have to say anything about SRK on this.
5. Assets creation: I will not say much but want to share that valuation of SRK's IPL franchise KKR is greater than assets combined of Aamir and Salman.
6. History of Performance:I can talk a lot about this but in brief. SRK has been giving consistent hits starting from 1994 with very few flops. But Salman with a number of flops before Wanted and Aamir's policy of one film per year policy since 1997 ensures that they don't have bandwidth and courage to be in SRK's consistent and high frequency trail.
8. Also Sharukh's consistence success and dominance has inspired and motivated Aamir and Salman to do some exceptional work in last few years.

I have still more things to add but will do it in some other blog. Maybe part 2 of this blog some time. But SRK's one thing which I don't admire is making fun of people and claiming that he is number one. But Still nobody is near to SRK. I am not just a fan of him but he is role model for me, who inspires me to give your best and be the best.

  1. The most important thing is, SRK works for hours and hours, sometimes gives up on sleeping also. He has a commitment towards what he does. He knows how to charm and even how to do business.
