Aamir Khan Says He Loved Shah Rukh Khan In DDLJ: 'Main Usse Thodi Compete Kar Raha Hu?'
Last Updated: Aamir Khan recalls his healthy rivalry with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan and says he never competed out of negativity or jealousy. When three superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan rise to fame in the same era, comparisons and competition are bound to follow. But how did Aamir view this dynamic during the peak of their careers in the 90s? Speaking to Raj Shamani on his podcast, Aamir Khan shared his perspective on being part of the trio that defined Bollywood for decades. According to the Dangal actor, competition existed — but never in a negative sense. 'Har koi ye chahta hai ki sabse zyada wo successful ho, sabse zyada log uske kaam ko pasand kare, aur ye acchi baatein hoti hai," Aamir said, adding that it's natural for every actor to want recognition and love from audiences. He stressed that his drive was never rooted in envy or rivalry. 'Main negative kaam kar hi nahi sakta. Meri taraf se competition hamesha healthy raha hai. Mujhe dusron ke kaam se inspiration milti hai, unki success se kabhi pareshaan nahi hota. Mera competition khud se hota hai," Aamir explained. Aamir also opened up about how he felt watching Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, a film that became a cultural milestone and catapulted Shah Rukh Khan to iconic status. 'Mujhe ye nahi tha ki main DDLJ jaisi badi romantic film karu kyuki mujhe wo film achi lagti hai. SRK ne bahut kamaal ka kaam kiya hai. Bahut achi lagti hai mujhe, mujhe bhi dekh ke mazaa aata hai. To main usse thodi compete kar raha hu," he said, making it clear that admiration, not rivalry, defined his outlook. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan recently said he and the other two Khans of Bollywood -Shah Rukh and Salman- want to work on a film together and are waiting for the right script to come their way. The prospect of the Khan troika appearing in a movie is something the audience is also looking forward to, Aamir said at a meet-and-greet event a day ahead of his 60th birthday. While Aamir and Salman were famously featured in the 1994 cult comedy Andaz Apna Apna, he has never co-starred with Shah Rukh Khan. Salman and Shah Rukh, however, have featured together in films such as Karan Arjun (1995), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2005), and Pathaan (2023).

Aamir Khan says he used to compete with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan in the '90s, but not any longer: ‘It was always healthy at my end'
The three Khans — Aamir, Shah Rukh, and Salman — started their careers around the same time, which is why they're always pitted against each other. But Aamir Khan, the most experienced of the three, maintains that they no longer compete with each other. He claimed the competition was always healthy, at least from his end. 'At one time, we used to compete, in the '90s, on who's more successful. Every person feels they should be most successful and appreciated, and that's a good thing. From my side, I never indulged in any negativity. I just can't get myself to. From my end, the competition has always been healthy,' said Aamir on Raj Shamani's podcast. He continued, 'If someone does good work, I feel like I should do too. I get inspired by others' work. But their success only makes me happier. We've been in the industry for 30-35 years, not just me, Shah Rukh, and Salman, but all other actors and actresses. There's a lot of warmth and respect between us. I wasn't competing with anyone actually. I only competed with myself.' Aamir Khan quoted the example of Aditya Chopra's 1995 blockbuster romantic drama Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, starring Shah Rukh and Kajol. 'I never thought I should make a big romantic film like that because I love watching it. Shah Rukh has done great work in it. So I'm not competing with him,' added Aamir. Also Read | 'Aamir Khan charged lower fees as he didn't want producers to suffer,' reveals actor's CA: 'Now he doesn't charge at all' He recalled after DDLJ released, he and Shah Rukh went on an international tour together. Shah Rukh, who was planning to buy the latest laptop then, also got another one for Aamir. However, being technologically handicapped, Aamir never ended up using it. 'My manager asked me four years later if he can use my laptop for work. I forgot about the laptop. When he showed it to me, I realized I haven't used it. Then I asked my manager to use it instead. You won't believe it just didn't switch on because it was just lying there for four years (laughs),' Aamir said. Aamir also confessed he feels hurt by the fact that only the three Khans are celebrated, instead of their other contemporaries who also enjoy the same longevity in the film industry. 'I feel bad because Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, and Hrithik Roshan, and a host of others from our generation who have worked for 30-35 years and are very successful. So I want to correct that,' Aamir reasoned. While Aamir Khan made his debut as an adult actor with Ketan Mehta's Holi in 1984, he became a regular actor only with Mansoor Khan's 1988 blockbuster Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Salman Khan made his acting debut with Biwi Ho Toh Aisi (1988), but played the lead for the first time in Sooraj Barjatya's 1989 hit directorial debut Maine Pyar Kiya. Shah Rukh Khan became a TV actor with Fauji in 1988, and made his Bollywood debut with Raj Kanwar's Deewana in 1992. Ajay Devgn entered the industry a year earlier with Kuku Kohli's 1991 blockbuster Phool Aur Kaante. Akshay Kumar, who had a brief appearance in Mahesh Bhatt's Aaj in 1987, made his debut as a lead in Raj Sippy's 1991 action romance Saugandh. Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan, 51, the youngest of them all, made his debut as a child actor in J Om Prakash's 1986 action film Bhagwaan Dada. After working as an assistant director on four of his father Rakesh Roshan's directorials for a decade, he made his debut as a lead in Rakesh' 2000 blockbuster romance Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai.

Aamir Khan admits competing with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in 90s: ‘Unke success se mujhe…'
It will be difficult for any cinema lover to pick the best amongst the 3 Khans, Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir. But belonging to the same generation and having started their careers almost at the same time, was there ever a sense of competition amongst them? Sitare Zameen Par actor spills beans on the 'healthy competition' between them during the 90s and went on to praise Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Raj Shamani, in his podcast, asked Aamir Khan about him competing with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. The Laal Singh Chadha actor admitted that at one point, they used to compete. 'Har koi ye chahta hai ki sabse zyada wo successful ho, sabse zyada log uske kaam ko pasand kare, aur ye acchi baatein hoti hai.' (Everyone wants they be very successful, and people should love their films the most, and this is a good thing.) The actor further added that he never believes in negativity, and he can never do negative things. He confessed that the competition from his side has always been healthy. The PK star explained that he always gets inspired by others' work, and he never gets upset with their success. His competition has always been with himself. Talking about competition further, Aamir Khan spoke about Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. 'Mujhe ye nahi tha ki main DDLJ jaisi badi romantic film karu kyuki mujhe wo film achi lagti hai. SRK ne bahut kamaal ka kaam kiya hai. Bahut achi lagti hai mujhe, mujhe bhi dekh ke mazaa aata hai. To main usse thodi compete kar raha hu,' he exclaimed. (I did not have in mind to do a romantic film like DDLJ because I like that film and I enjoy watching it. So, I am not competing.)
