Shah Rukh Is Happy As No. 2 No sooner his "rivalry" with Amitabh Bachchan hogged headlines than Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has got involved in a repartee with screen idol Aamir Khan. Reacting to a recent remark by Aamir a day earlier, Shah Rukh has said that he was happy to be called "No. 2" of Indian cinema. You may recall that Aamir had reportedly claimed himself as the numero uno of Bollywood and Shah Rukh as second to him. To this, King Khan's reply was: "Aamir is a dear friend and if he has said that I am the No. 2 actor, it is a great compliment to me. We have great regard for each other. He is 100 per cent number one." SRK has said to the media invited for Indian Premier League in Mumbai. Shah Rukh, whose recent flick 'Om Shanti Om' was pitted against Aamir's critically acclaimed 'Tare Zameen Par', described the latter as "an intellectual and intelligent person". "We are completely opposite. The only similarity is that we are both Khans," Shah Rukh said, terming him as "a more instinctive and physical actor". Aamir, while talking to reporters had said, "Well what can I say. Shah Rukh always likes to be in the second position"
When asked that if he had a chance to interview Shah Rukh, what would be his first question, the actor said, "That's a tricky question. I would ask Shah Rukh how does it feel to be second after Aamir?" This comment by Aamir, who is best known as Bollywood's "Mr Perfectionist" has been widely interpreted as the beginning of a war between the two mighty Khans of the tinsel town in India. |
