Aamir Khan reveals favourite Salman and Shah Rukh films despite not having watched Pathaan or Jawan. Is a Khans collaboration on the horizon?
In a rare public revelation that's making waves among Bollywood buffs, Aamir Khan recently opened up about his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan , brushing aside the long-standing narrative of rivalry among the three superstars. At an event brimming with nostalgia and candour, Aamir surprised many by admitting he hasn't seen Shah Rukh's recent mega-hits Pathaan and Jawan . Instead, he chose to focus on his all-time favourite performances by his iconic peers. What Made the Cut: Aamir's Favourite Khan Films When asked about standout performances, Aamir didn't hesitate. For Salman Khan, he singled out Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dabangg —both films that redefined Salman's image from brawny action hero to emotionally grounded protagonist. For Shah Rukh Khan, it was the classics that won Aamir's heart: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai . 'I haven't watched Pathaan or Jawan yet,' he admitted, offering a moment of unexpected honesty in an era of promotional diplomacy. Khan Trifecta on Screen? Aamir Says It's Possible The internet lit up earlier when Aamir hinted at a potential collaboration between the three Khans. 'Salman, Shah Rukh, and I would love to work together,' he said, adding that they were waiting for the right script. For fans who have long dreamed of a cinematic explosion featuring all three, this was more than just a tease—it was a promise waiting to be fulfilled. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Air conditioners without external unit.

'In the '90s, sure, there was competition. But I've never indulged in negativity,' he said. 'I'm only in competition with myself. If someone does good work, it inspires me.' He cited Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge again, acknowledging Shah Rukh's brilliance while confessing he never aspired to outdo it—he simply enjoyed it as a fan. Brotherhood Beyond the Big Screen Recounting a fond memory, Aamir revealed how Shah Rukh once bought him a laptop during an international tour after DDLJ 's release. "I never even used it," Aamir laughed, recalling how the machine lay idle for four years before it refused to start altogether. These anecdotes underline a camaraderie that transcends professional rivalry—one based on mutual respect and shared history.

'It's unfair that only the Khans are celebrated,' he said, naming Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, and Hrithik Roshan as equally deserving of praise for their longevity and contribution to Indian cinema. 'I want to correct that,' he added, highlighting the industry's narrow focus. What's Next for the Trio Aamir Khan is gearing up for Sitaare Zameen Par , a film he promises will strike both hearts and minds. Salman Khan is prepping for an untitled action drama with Sanjay Dutt and the long-awaited Kick 2 . Shah Rukh Khan, meanwhile, is busy shooting King , reportedly featuring a star-studded cast including Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, and Deepika Padukone. As the three Khans continue to redefine stardom with evolving choices and renewed purpose, one thing remains unchanged—the affection they inspire and the dreams they fuel in millions of fans. And if Aamir's candid words are any indication, we might not have seen the best of them together… yet.
