Saif Ali Khan on being the fourth Khan: ‘Salman Khan has been a superstar from the 1st shot’; calls Shah Rukh Khan an ‘emperor’

Actor Saif Ali Khan who is riding high on the success of his recently released film, Bhoot Police, also starring Arjun Kapoor, Yami Gautam and Jacqueline Fernandez, has an incredible filmy career. He has given some notable films like Omkara, Hum Tum, Kal Ho Naa Ho and many more. In fact, the actor is delivering some banging performances in recent projects like Tandav, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and more. Amidst his fruitful career, in a recent interview, Saif was asked about being the ‘fourth Khan’ among the other three Khans — Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.

Well, speaking about the same to Siddharth Kannan at his YouTube channel, Saif said that even though they have a common surname, they are diverse from each other. Talking about Salman, Saif said, “Salman has been a superstar from the first shot he gave and he has just never looked back. Ups and downs or whatever, but his mind is very different. It has taken me a long time to grow up into a person who is capable of shouldering a movie,” whereas, for SRK, he said, “Very wide-sweeping scale of how he sees the world. I am really like a fish-n-chips guy compared to him. He is like an emperor.” Saif and Shah Rukh have worked in Kal Ho Naa Ho and even hosted award functions together after their film.

The Nawab who has worked with Aamir in Dil Chahta Hai said about him, “Five years later, I kind of understand what he is talking about in terms of how he is applying his mind. I become, roughly like that, much later.”

Even though Saif has his own journey, he thinks the three Khans are ‘the triumvirate of cinema’. “I think I’ve made a respectable career out of my life so I am very proud of myself and I know I am different from them. They really should be in the same bracket because they are the triumvirate of cinema,” he said.
