As per the top Bollywood Actress Kareena Kapoor who has acted with all the 3 Big Khans, “Salman Khan is a sweetheart. He is the lifeline of the industry. Shahrukh Khan is a bundle of energy, while perfectionist Aamir Khan is truly a genius’. However, there are many more actresses who have acted opposite all these Superstar Khans.
The cold war between SRK and the other 2 superstar Khans are no secret. Because of these cold vibes between the actors, they pass sarcastic and insulting comments at each other whenever they get a chance.
