The 3 Superstar Khans of Bollywood - Salman, Shahrukh and Aamir Khan
The 3 Big Khans of Bollywood - Friendship and Rivalry
No matter how many Khans are there in the Hindi Film Industry, it is the 3 Superstar Khan’s who rule the Bollywood – Salman, Shahrukh and Aamir. They are also the highest paid actors in Bollywood and have their own production companies. They also endorse many Brands and charge 3 crore plus per advertisement. Many times even movies with a weak storyline have succeeded at the box office because of the star values of these actors who leave no stones unturned to promote their films. These actors are choosy about their films and heroines that the actresses who are paired opposite them consider it their good fortune to be part of the films. 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. Despite of the rivalry between the superstars many people have tried to bring these actors together, but have not succeeded in it. There was even news of these Khans acting together in a Bollywood Movie, which unfortunately was only a rumour. There was a time when Salman and Shah Rukh were best buddies but now they no longer look eye to eye. However, Aamir Khan and Salman share a warm and friendly relationship. Despite of the differences, Aamir Khan stated in an interview that he has no problems acting with the two other superstar Khans if he comes across a good script.

Great compilation for Bollywood fans. Thanx and keep up...
I never see a Hindi film fully. I like Malayalam Film. My favorite star is Mohanlal in Malayalam film
I love all these actors and find each of them unique in their acting. Of course Aamir is a good film maker as well.
Voted up.
Very interesting hub. I like Bollywood film and I only know about Shahrukh Khan for my German friend is a great fan of him. She loves to look at every film of him that I sometimes think she´s getting crazy but I enjoyed very much when she talks about him....Thanks for sharing, Anamika;-)

@faiyaz428 Thanks for the information. I added Twinkle's name to the list.
Very good coverage of three Khan's, but i like the most Amir Khan and his movies, nice review, voted up.
yaa best post but they 4got to write twinkle's Name
i.e With Amir-Mela
with Sahrukh- Badshah
with Salman - Jaab pyar kissi se hota hain ...
Thanks. Really, all the Khans are the Suns in the sky of Bollywood though in reality it is quite impossible for the Sun to be more than one at a time in existence in the sky of Earth. But in the sky of Bollywood if one Khan seems to be rise late the whole Bollywood will seem to be gloomy and fogy. I think the 75% production in the film world of Bollywood is near impossible without the touch of three Khans.
Interesting hub, I feel like I know a lot more about Bollywood now. Thanks for sharing.
I love watching all the Khan's and their movies, my wife is from India, and we watch many Bollywood films, and I've grown to love them so much, because each movie has a truly valuable life theme to learn and plus a great deal of them is filled with singing and dancing which I also love to watch and listen to.
I also like to watch the actresses as well, they are so beautiful, but don't mention I said that to my wife, she would kill me, LOL.
Lovely hub here, its very well written and appeals to me in many ways, because I've grown to admire them actors as well. Voted up and out!
I really enjoyed reading your hub! I just saw my first Bollywood film, Om, Shanti, OM" and loved it! My boyfriend and I play the soundtrack and try dancing to it like in the movie! It is so much fun! Voted your piece up! So great!
Wow... they all have their production companies. Shahrukh Khan is my favourite. Interesting to read but what I love most is the way you noted the films they have been in. As you know I'm a Bollywood fanatic - so now I can just type in the movie on Youtube and hopefully the dance video of the movie will come up and whenever I want to watch a movie - I can refer to your Hub again. Brilliant!!
Shukuriya. :-)
Well it is rather sad that Salman is recognized as Bad Boy on here, when technically he has been called a 'man with a golden heart' by the industry. Mostly all actors have given him a lot of credit as their know him personally. Also, Salman has the largest fan-following out of the lot as it has been proved in various surveys. He has had most biggest hits, with most All time Blockbusters and annual hits (7 of them). He is also the most searched one online. It is sick that he referred as the bad boy of bollywood while Shahrukh who recently has faced so many controversies doesn't get criticized.
Not that you have provided information on all of them, I believe they should shake hands and make amends. In our Country you never here of such negative rivalry and those three are in there 40's. They need to grow-up and make a movie together, apparently they have forgotten who made them famous. (The people). Who gave them their wealth? (The people). There stardom's bubble could burst if the people grew tired of their childish ways and didn't buy or pay to see their movies.
Well-Written A and thank you for sharing.

@Vinaya Ghimire It would be really nice if the Khan's forget their differences and act together in a movie. Thanks for the visit and comment.
I hope to watch three Khans feature in the same movie.
I don't know if this will ever be possible.
thanks a lot..
