A veteran actor's honest take on Bollywood's iconic Khans will leave you intrigued!
Paresh Rawal, a legend with over four decades in the film industry, has worked with all three Khans of Bollywood, and his insights are a treat for movie enthusiasts.
The Pure Craft of Aamir Khan
When asked about Aamir Khan, Rawal praised his acting style for its authenticity. He revealed, "Aamir approaches scenes without relying on signature gestures or mannerisms." This purity of craft is what sets Aamir apart, according to Rawal.
But here's where it gets controversial... Rawal admitted, "Personally, I like Aamir better when it comes to work."
What about the charming Salman Khan?
Rawal described Salman as naturally charming, but when it comes to acting, he prefers Aamir's approach.
Shah Rukh Khan's Commitment
Moving on to Shah Rukh Khan, Rawal highlighted his dedication. He cited SRK's performance in 'Swades' as an example, saying it was so convincing that even his co-stars were stunned, "No one could tell it was Shah Rukh Khan."
And this is the part most people miss... Rawal summed up his thoughts on acting, "In this field, there's no one who's bigger, better, or worse. Everyone is unique and excels in their own way."
Beyond Work: Real Connections
When shown a photo with Akshay Kumar, Rawal clarified their relationship. He considers Akshay a trusted colleague but not a close personal friend. Rawal explained, "In films, you find collaborators; in theater, you build friendships; but in school, you find soulmates."
He went on to mention his true close friends, the late Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, and Johny Lever, bonds formed beyond the sets, rooted in respect and warmth.
Upcoming Projects
Paresh Rawal, who recently starred in the horror-comedy 'Thamma,' is also gearing up for 'Welcome to the Jungle,' the third installment of the Welcome franchise.
