SRK’s Nostalgic Revelation: Salman Is the ‘Top Star,’ Aamir the ‘Most Talented Actor’ — Yet I Built My Own Empire!
Mumbai — A recently surfaced interview from Lehren TV features Shah Rukh Khan candidly discussing Bollywood’s iconic trio — himself, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.
SRK on Bollywood’s Top Stars
When questioned about whether he anticipated reaching their level of fame, SRK was straightforward. “I recognize that Mr. Salman Khan is undoubtedly the greatest star of all time in terms of longevity. Mr. Aamir Khan, in my opinion, is the most exceptional actor in the nation. To put it diplomatically, I have established my own standing,” he remarked.
He was far from finished. Addressing the claims that he had “replaced” anyone, SRK remarked, “Some individuals, in a very rude and foolish manner, suggest that I have ousted A, B, C, D, which I believe is entirely incorrect. Each actor has their unique approach to performance… It doesn’t work that way.”
Self-assured yet composed, the icon articulated how his adaptability distinguished him from others. “I possess a touch of acting skill and my approach is somewhat refined. Therefore, I can tackle a range of characters… My appearance isn’t the typical charming boy or the classic action hero. It’s a blend.” From romance in Deewana to humor in Chamatkar and charisma in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, SRK mentioned he forged his own path — no need for comparisons.
Aamir and Salman in Focus
Shah Rukh Khan made his entry into Bollywood in 1992 with Deewana, capturing audiences’ attention after his appearances on television shows such as Fauji and Circus. With early support from Hema Malini in Dil Aashna Hai, he went on to create hits like Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Devdas, and Chennai Express, solidifying his status as a megastar.
Recently featured in Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan is now preparing for his upcoming film King, which also includes his daughter Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone in the cast.
It’s evident that in a realm of legends, Shah Rukh Khan asserts that everyone has their moment to shine — yet he crafted his own throne.

Priyanka’s Treasure of Affection! Nick’s Handwritten Notes Continue to Enchant Her
Mumbai — Priyanka Chopra Jonas has just captured hearts with a peek into her genuine romance with Nick Jonas — and it feels like a scene from a film.
During her conversation with Jay Shetty on his podcast, Priyanka shared a promise that Nick made long before their wedding. When he sought her mother’s blessing for marriage, he pledged, “I assured your mom that I would always prioritize your happiness. That will be my mission, your joy. And I will consistently remind you of how cherished you are.”
Addressing Replacement Claims
Grand statements — yet according to Priyanka, he has fulfilled each and every one of them.
“You might say that, similar to when you first tie the knot. However, to maintain that,” she remarked, commending Nick for his unwavering ability to express his affection through small, daily gestures.
What she cherishes most? A hidden “memory box” filled with handwritten letters and cards — particularly those from Nick. “I adore the notes that people send me. I truly appreciate a handwritten message,” she expressed.
While going through the drawer recently, she discovered a collection of love letters from her husband spanning many years. “All these letters Nick has penned to me over time… from the very start, he always emphasized… express your love to those dear to you. It truly makes a significant impact.”
Priyanka and Nick’s whirlwind love story kicked off at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, became public at the Met Gala, and quickly grew serious. He popped the question in London on her birthday in July 2018, and by December, they exchanged vows in an extravagant Hindu and Christian ceremony at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur.
In 2022, they celebrated the arrival of their daughter Malti Marie through surrogacy following a difficult NICU experience.
From extravagant red carpet events to intimate love letters, Priyanka’s sentiment is clear: while grand displays are impressive, it’s the personal “I love you” written by hand that endures through time.
In a poignant post on social media, the actress disclosed that shooting scenes depicting domestic violence in the 1997 thriller was emotionally challenging, particularly due to her own troubled history. However, she noted that Om Puri approached it with exceptional sensitivity.
“Although this story intertwined a murder mystery with a woman’s struggle against domestic violence, which is a serious issue, Om ji was incredibly considerate of my history, and I cannot emphasize enough the level of care he provided during the intense scenes,” she expressed.
What was his method for assisting her in dealing with challenges? Laughter.
“To lift my spirits, he would share incredible jokes the moment we heard ‘cut.’ I feel privileged to have collaborated with all three of the co-stars mentioned earlier.”
Somy expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to share the screen with iconic figures such as Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra, Om Puri, and Rajesh Khanna—actors she idolized during her childhood. She fondly remembered the daring moment when she told Rajesh Khanna at the age of seven that she wished to marry him.
She nostalgically recalled Jeetendra offering her life lessons during breaks and Om Puri imparting culinary advice on set. “Thank you, Om ji, because to this day I can whip up the finest daal, biryani, and my rotis don’t resemble global maps thanks to you,” she expressed, noting how much she misses them all deeply.
For Somy, Chupp represented more than just a film — it embodied a profound lesson in compassion, guidance, and perseverance.
