Has Bebo put Aamir on a higher pedestal?

After Farah Khan’s support for Akshay Kumar, it is time for yet another close friend of Shah Rukh Khan to show her open appreciation for one of his biggest rivals in Bollywood — Aamir Khan. This time the person in question is Kareena Kapoor. Kareena, or Bebo as she is known  as, has called Aamir the ‘emperor of Bollywood’.

And because Shah Rukh is called King Khan by the entire industry, Bebo calling Aamir the ‘emperor’ automatically puts him on a higher pedestal. But we are hoping that Kareena did not think too much before saying it out aloud at a press conference.

A source present during an event to promote 3 Idiots, Aamir and Kareena’s forthcoming movie directed by Rajkumar Hirani, said, “Kareena was talking about her experience of working with Aamir and she said that her career wouldn’t have been complete if she hadn’t worked with Aamir. It is at this juncture that she called Aamir the emperor of Bollywood.”

The insider added, “Everyone knows that Kareena shares a great equation with Shah Rukh. They are friends first, then colleagues or co-stars. For years they have been really close and they still are. Though Kareena called Aamir the emperor, we are sure she didn’t want to put either Shah Rukh or Aamir on a higher or a lower pedestal. With the relationship she shares with Shah Rukh, she would never do that. It must have been just an expression that she did not even think over before saying. It was a casual comment. But still, these days with camps existing in the industry, even such harmless comments can be read with the intention of reading between the lines.”
