Fabulous And Fantastic 'Khans' At 50: A Tale Of 'Stardom'

In a recent interview, Aamir Khan revealed that save for the last name and the fact that they were born in the same year (1965), there is actually very little common between the trio that has been ruling Bollywood for more than two decades. And that contrast, in his opinion, has been a big factor in the longevity of their success, as each of them has managed to connect with the audience in very unique ways.

For a greater part of their careers, Salman Khan has been seen as the larger-than-life, mass superstar; Shah Rukh Khan as the king of romance with an undisputed supremacy in the overseas market; and Aamir Khan as the risk-taking, intellectual actor who has never allowed himself to fall into the trap of his stardom and those mega-box-office-records.
