Aamir Khan lists his favourite performances of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan; reveals he hasn't watched Jawan, Pathaan
Bollywood's iconic trio – Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan – have ruled the industry for decades, delivering some of the biggest blockbusters and shaping the course of Hindi cinema. While they're often seen as rivals at the box office, off-screen they share a mutual respect and camaraderie. At the recent Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Summit & Awards 2025, Aamir opened up about his admiration for his fellow Khans and revealed his favourite performances by Salman and Shah Rukh.

When asked about his favourite roles, Aamir said, 'My favourite performance of Salman's is Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dabangg. As for Shah Rukh, I really loved Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is one of my favourite films of his. I haven't seen his recent films Pathaan and Jawan.'
Recently, Shah Rukh and Salman were spotted attending Aamir's birthday bash at his residence. While SRK shielded his face from the paparazzi on arrival, Salman made a stylish entrance with heavy security. Last year, during an appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Aamir spoke about a potential film with the other two stars. He said he had recently met both of them and expressed that after so many years in the industry, it would be unfair to audiences if they didn't collaborate on at least one film together.
Aamir added that he had spoken to both Salman and Shah Rukh about the possibility of a joint project, and both actors are enthusiastic about finding the right story. He shared that they are hoping good directors will approach them with interesting scripts so they can work together soon.
Aamir is awaiting the release of his sports comedy-drama Sitaare Zameen Par. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, the film also stars Genelia Deshmukh and is set to hit theatres on June 20. Salman will next be seen in an action drama alongside Sanjay Dutt. He also has Kick 2 in the pipeline.
Shah Rukh is currently filming King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film reportedly stars Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, and Deepika Padukone, among other major names. However, the official cast announcement is yet to be made.

Sonali Bendre recalls welcoming Michael Jackson with Raj Thackeray to India in 1996: ‘I just wanted great tickets'
Sonali Bendre remains the only Bollywood actress to have had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of welcoming the late global pop icon Michael Jackson when he arrived in India for his HIStory World Tour in 1996. At the time, Bendre was joined by politician Raj Thackeray in organizing Jackson's grand welcome in Mumbai. Dressed in a traditional nine-yard saree, the actress performed a customary Indian ritual, applying a tilak to Jackson's forehead and performing an aarti, as he stepped off the plane at what was then known as Bombay Airport. Now, nearly three decades later, the Sarfarosh actress has opened up about how that unforgettable moment came to be. In a candid chat with ANI, Bendre revealed that the idea was initiated by Raj Thackeray's wife, Sharmila Thackeray, who had a personal connection with her family. 'They told me that you need to come and do that and be somebody who got in touch with me. I think it was Sharmila, Raj's wife. Sharmila's mother and my masi (aunt) have been friends for a long time, and she said, 'why don't you do it' (welcoming Michael Jackson),' Bendre recalled. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo While many would have jumped at the chance to welcome the King of Pop, Bendre had one condition before agreeing to participate.
