Shah Rukh Khan talks about the brotherhood that he shares with the two superstars
Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan have been the centre of the B-Town universe for three decades now. Their superstar power may be dented on occasion, but, undoubtedly, the trio has dominated the Hindi cinema box office for more than 10 years now. On a personal level, they have a unique equation. When we met the Zero actor recently, we asked him about the bond he shares with the two Khans, and here’s what he had to say...
Two others who have been around for as long as you are Aamir Khan and Salman Khan. Do you see yourselves as a triumvirate?
The other day, the three of us were together from 9 pm to 8 am. When we meet, we know we are friends. We just keep talking, laughing and pulling each other’s legs. Strangely, while doing that, we’re also extremely sensitive about each other’s losses, sadness and happiness.
Having said that, I have a certain respect for Aamir and Salman, which is beyond the fact that I’m their friend. And they hold that, too. So, on public platforms, we’re not like that. I think it was Aamir who said, that if people saw us together, they would say, ‘Arrey, teeno toh bilkul star type nahin lagte.’ As a matter of fact, in Zero, I’ve removed myself from them and you see that in the trailer, too. There is a dialogue that Bauua says, ‘Le aa apne teenon Khan, yahin khada hoon, meri jaan.’
Go on...
We don’t ever chat about work, we just have fun. I’ve known them for 25-26 years now. Whenever I’ve met them, from the time I started to last night, I don’t consider us as a triumvirate, people see it that way. The achievements of Aamir and Salman are outstanding, the ease with which they do it, and the love they have. People don’t see that.
Apart from being modest about your own achievements, your roles are beyond the romantic.
I think I still have a lot to achieve. I can speak for Salman and Aamir, too, because I know they also feel that. All three of us believe that this is not what we set out to make, there’s still more to go.
We have it in our nature to get over our last film, whether it’s a hit or a flop, and move on to the next one. And that’s what keeps us going. The desire to keep on working for the ultimate goal, which we also don’t know. It doesn’t stop. I personally don’t feel I’ve achieved anything.
