- IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,October 03 2021]
Despite being immensely skilled and having a illustrious career, Saif Ali Khan never managed to reach the near mythical stature of Bollywood's trinity, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. Now that he has been delivering consistently good performanceson OTT, Saif is sometimes dubbed as the fourth Khan of Bollywood. In a recent YouTube podcast, Saif talked about this title and said, We all have the same surname but that’s a common surname. We are very very different people and they are very different people from each other.
Saif then went on to describe prime qualities of all three superstars and shared how he is different from them. About Salman, Saif said, Salman has been a superstar from the first shot he gave and he has just never looked back. Ups and downs or whatever, but his mind is very different. It has taken me a long time to grow up into a person who is capable of shouldering a movie.
Talking about his 'Kal Ho Na Ho' co-star Shahrukh Khan, Saif shared, Very wide-sweeping scale of how he sees the world. I am really like a fish-n-chips guy compared to him. He is like an emperor. Saif then went on to talk about his 'Dil Chahta Hai' co-star and said, Five years later, I kind of understand what he is talking about in terms of how he is applying his mind. I become, roughly like that, much later.
“I think I’ve made a respectable career out of my life so I am very proud of myself and I know I am different from them. They really should be in the same bracket because they are the triumvirate of cinema, Saif concluded.
