Since 2009, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan consistently shattered all records at the Box Office leaving the third Khan, Shah Rukh Khan a little behind. However, following the failure of Tubelight, a large section of people within the industry started questioning Salman’s stardom. When Aamir was asked if he is the undisputed king today as the other two Khan’s have failed to live to the expectations, the superstar said:

“You have to understand that creative work is very unpredictable. All of us try our best. Sometimes we succeed in what we do, sometimes we don’t. I don’t think that one or two failure would take a toll on anyone’s stardom. I think that Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are huge stars, they are megastars. I am a huge fan of their work and I don’t really compare. Each one is unique and each one is different.”
