While Kareena openly expressed her deep admiration for Shah Rukh, she was equally candid about her dislike for Salman. Speaking about SRK, the actress said, 'I'm totally in love with him. Don't even ask me about him because if I start, I won't stop talking about him for hours. Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh are the only two actors I admire. There is something about Shah Rukh that is amazing. He has that very boy-next-door appeal, which makes every girl want to take him home to her parents. His performances touch me.'
On the other hand, while talking about Salman, she said, 'I'm not at all a Salman fan. I don't like him, he's a very bad actor. I tell him that he hams all the time. Aamir's good, I really liked him in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and QSQT, but out of the Khans, I'm a total Shah Rukh fan.'
When it comes to working with the Khans, Kareena Kapoor has shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Asoka, Ra.One, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. With Salman Khan, she has starred in films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Bodyguard, and Kyon Ki. Her collaborations with Aamir Khan include Laal Singh Chaddha, Talaash, and 3 Idiots.

Meet Shah Rukh Khan's doppelganger with matching style, six-pack abs, lakhs in earnings
Bollywood is filled with celebrities, and so are their lookalikes. The latest to grab everyone's attention is Shah Rukh Khan's doppelgänger, who not only shares strikingly similar abs and physique but also mirrors his style and even mannerisms. What changed his life was an IPL match in Rajkot when fans surrounded him, mistaking him for Shah Rukh. Since then, the actor's doppelgänger has been attending parties, shows and other events, earning in lakhs reportedly. Shah Rukh Khan's popular doppelgänger is Ibrahim Qadri, who recently featured in Vogue India. Hailing from Junagadh, Gujarat, Ibrahim reportedly used to paint shop signs and walls. 'I must have been 14 or 15 when they first started saying it. His film Deewaana (1992) had just come out,' Ibrahim told the magazine. 'But I never took it seriously because family members always say things like that, don't they? It was only in 2017 when I went to watch an IPL match and the crowds went wild thinking I was Shah Rukh that I felt I could do something with it," he shared. Ibrahim reportedly charges up to Rs. 2.5 lakh for an event, such as Bollywood nights in bars and clubs or private Eid parties in Dubai. However, he sees his career as a craft that he needs to work on every day. 'I'd watched his films for years as a viewer, but in 2017, I began watching them to learn his gestures, expressions and dances. It took me a year to prepare myself," he shared. Not just his looks and mannerisms, Ibrahim also styles himself like King Khan. He revealed he hand-makes outfits and works out every day to maintain his look. 'I have no special diet,' he added, asserting his love for home-cooked food. Ibrahim is quite popular on social media as well. He has over 2 million followers on Instagram. His videos and photos often go viral from time to time, confusing fans. Despite his love for Shah Rukh, Ibrahim hopes to never run into the superstar. Reportedly, it would take away the excitement of his journey. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh was last seen in Dunki. His next release will be King, alongside Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone.

'Hindu' Gauri Khan On Respecting Shah Rukh Khan's Religion: 'Doesn't Mean I'd Become A Muslim'
Last Updated: Gauri Khan once shared how she keeps her Hindu faith alive, celebrates Diwali despite being married to Muslim Shah Rukh Khan and navigates a loving interfaith home. Gauri Khan has quietly but firmly shown how to balance love, faith and family. Married to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for 34 years, she has maintained her Hindu identity while embracing an interfaith household. From leading Diwali poojas to navigating her husband's Islamic traditions, Gauri has created a home where respect and celebration of both religions flourish. Long before Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan wedding in October 1991, Gauri's parents worried about her converting to Islam. 'There was a lot of concern," she recalled, as even attempts were made to change Shah Rukh's name to Abhinav. She later called the idea 'unnecessary and childish." Shah Rukh lightened tense moments with his signature humour, joking that Gauri might wear a burkha and adopt a Muslim name, which briefly shocked her family. On Koffee With Karan, Gauri discussed her religion 'There is a balance, I respect Shah Rukh's religion but that doesn't mean that I would convert and become a Muslim. I don't believe in that. I think everybody is an individual and follow their religion. But, obviously there should be no disrespect. Like Shah Rukh would not disrespect my religion as well." Shah Rukh Khan And Gauri Celebrating Diwali And Eid With Their Children Gauri leads Diwali celebrations, while Shah Rukh takes charge of Eid. Speaking on Ladies First, she explained how the children enjoy both festivals: 'Our kids embrace both festivals, often following Shah Rukh's lead, and enjoy celebrating both Diwali and Eid." Shah Rukh has shared that this dual-religion upbringing sometimes left the children confused. In a 2013 interview with Outlook Turning Points, he said he would respond with humour that they are Indian first, and their core identity is humanity, jokingly referencing a Hindi film song. Beyond being Shah Rukh's wife, Gauri has built a formidable career as a film producer, fashion designer, and celebrity interior designer. She was named one of Fortune Magazine's '50 Most Powerful Women" in 2018 and appeared on the cover of Vogue India in 2008, earning the title 'First Lady of Bollywood." She continues to maintain her individuality while raising Aryan, Suhana, and Abram, blending traditions and modern family values.
