The Bollywood film industry has been ruled by the three Khans for decades. Starting as debutants in the early 90s, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan’s career trajectories ran parallel with each other. They saw overnight fame, downfalls, and global recognition almost at the same time. Sometimes friends and, at times, foes, these contemporary actors have naturally been pitted against each other given their stardom. Now, Aamir Khan has revealed that there used to be healthy competition among the three Khans in the 90s.
Aamir Khan admitted that competition existed within the three Khans
In a podcast with Raj Shamani, Aamir Khan talked about his equation with contemporaries, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. He talked about their film careers, which started around the same time, and said that they used to compete with each other in the 90s. The actor clarified that everyone wants to be the most successful one, and everyone wants their movies to be well-loved, which, as per Aamir Khan, is a good thing. The Sitaare Zameen Par actor said:
“Har koi ye chahta hai ki sabse zyada wo successful ho, sabse zyada log uske kaam ko pasand kare, aur ye acchi baatein hoti hai.”
