THROWBACK: When Shah Rukh Khan admitted he has certain respect for Salman Khan, Aamir Khan: 'Teeno toh bilkul star type...'
Shah Rukh Khan once shared that he avoids discussing work when he meets his close friends Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, and he spoke about the profound respect he holds for them.
The camaraderie among Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan is widely recognized by fans. This trio enjoys a close-knit friendship and often gathers for fun. Their dance performance at the Ambani pre-wedding bash garnered significant media attention. As Friendship Day approaches, let's revisit the moment when Shah Rukh Khan shared insights about his bond with his best friends and what they typically discuss during their get-togethers.
In an interview with DNA, Shah Rukh Khan once shared that when he, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan get together, they focus on having fun and catching up rather than discussing work. He mentioned that their gatherings are filled with laughter and playful teasing, and despite the lighthearted atmosphere, they remain 'extremely sensitive about each other’s losses, sadness, and happiness'.
Shah Rukh Khan further mentioned that despite their playful interactions, he holds a deep respect for Aamir and Salman that goes beyond their friendship. He said, “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’.”
The Dunki actor disclosed that when he, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan get together, work is never a topic of discussion. Instead, they focus on having fun and enjoying each other's company. King Khan emphasized that despite the public perception of them as a powerful trio, he sees them simply as long-time friends. He admires the remarkable achievements and genuine ease with which Aamir and Salman navigate their careers, noting the immense love they receive from people, which often goes unnoticed.
Despite their longstanding success, Shah Rukh Khan believes that none of them are ready to step away from the limelight. He mentioned that he, Salman, and Aamir all feel there is still much more to accomplish. They share a belief that their journey is far from over and that they have not yet reached the full potential of what they set out to achieve.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing to take on the role of an underworld don in his upcoming film King, with his daughter Suhana Khan as his protégé. On the other hand, Salman Khan is gearing up to celebrate Eid with Sikandar, where he reunites with director A. R. Murugadoss and stars alongside Rashmika Mandanna. He is also set to appear in Tiger Vs Pathaan, sharing the screen with Shah Rukh Khan.
Meanwhile, Aamir Khan is currently working on Sitaare Zameen Par, a sports drama featuring Genelia Deshmukh, inspired by the Spanish film Champions, and scheduled for release on December 25, 2024.
