He is one of the richest actors in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$400–600 million, and his work in Bollywood has earned him numerous accolades, including 14 Filmfare Awards.

Khan started his career with appearances in several television series in the late 1980s. He made his Bollywood debut in 1992 with Deewana. Early in his career, Khan was recognised for portraying villainous roles in the films Darr (1993), Baazigar (1993) and Anjaam (1994).

What if Salman Khan gets married?

.The biggest question that perturbs the nation today is whether Salman, who is acquitted of all charges in 2002 hit-and-run case, will now get married and the second biggest question is who he would marry if at all he decides to tie the knot in the near future. Well, only Salman knows that better. But we bring a list of eligible candidates who we would love to see as Mrs. Salman Khan.

Katrina Kaif : We know she is currently in a live-in relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, but considering how fragile relationships are in this industry, nothing is impossible with B-town’s love affairs. Remember what happened with Ranbir and Deepika?  Also, considering strong rumours about growing rift between Katrina and Ranbir are already doing the rounds, an unfortunate announcement could be just round the corner. However, in any given circumstance, we know Katrina’s name is the first that comes to a million minds as Salman’s to-be wife. After all, they both look like ‘made for each other’, don’t they?

Priyanka Chopra : Imagine a superstar like Salman with such enviable fan following across the world getting married to an actress of international recognition, Priyanka Chopra? A dream pair, isn’t it? Priyanka has been good friends with Salman for a long while now, although her friendship with Khan has gone through its highs and lows. Also, considering Priyanka is single and is not reportedly in relationship with anyone right now, she is ideally the strongest candidate to be the eldest bahu of ‘Khan’daan and the queen of Galaxy Apartments.

Deepika Padukone : We know Deepika Padukone is one actress who half the nation wants to see as Mrs. Ranbir Kapoor, while the remaining half wants to see her settle as Mrs. Ranveer Singh, but she is neither dating Ranbir nor has she admitted of being in a relationship with Ranveer. And that obviously makes her one of the top three contenders of becoming Salim and Salma Khan’s eldest daughter-in-law. Does Deepika Padukone Khan sound nice to your ears? This one would be the most romantic Prem-Leela ever!

Preity Zinta : They say it’s best if husband and wife are each other’s best friends. And Priety is known to be one of Salman’s best friends since last two decades. Preity has time and again admitted how Salman has stood by her side like the rock of Gibraltar and has been her strongest support system during thick and thin. Also, if there is one actress who looks gorgeous with Salman and shares enviable chemistry, then that’s Preity and hence we feel they both would make for one of the best married couples of B-town.

Karisma Kapoor : She has already been Salman’s Biwi no. 1, albeit on reel and hence that leaves very less doubt that if Karisma, who is now divorced and single, ties the knot with her good old friend and co-star of many hits, she would make for a perfect biwi for our Sallu Miyan. Having gone through and experienced the darker side of a marriage, she will ensure her liaison with Salman wouldn’t have to go through any of the mess she has been through in her life in the past and hence, she would prove to be his Biwi No. 1 in real life too.

Yet again, Shah Rukh Khan's fans are battling Salman Khan's supporters on Twitter

.When it comes to Bollywood rivalries, perhaps few have been as contentious as the competition between Shah Rukh and Salman Khan. Though the stars themselves have made public gestures of reconciliation on a number of occasions – each of them reported upon by breathless Bollywood reporters as if the Israelis and Palestinians have found accord – this has not prevented the more diehard fans of these stars from indulging in Twitter wars that often become ludicrously heated.

The latest bout followed the release last week of the first trailer of Shah Rukh Khan film Happy New Year, which fans of Salman Khan quickly began to ridicule. But SRK has a huge following on Twitter too, and they were quick to respond.

Here are the eight most common points of criticism Shah Rukh Khan received, and how his fans countered them.

1) He is not a versatile actor

Both Shah Rukh Khan and his fans are particularly offended if someone points this out. “Check your facts,” Pratishtha Malhotra, a Mumbai-based entrepreneur who has wanted to marry the actor since she was a child, said. “If Chak De India, Darr, Swades and Dil Se were not versatile enough for you then you have no understanding of Hindi cinema. May be you should watch theatre. Oh, wait, he has done that too.”

2) Salman Khan has a bigger fan base than SRK

To which the fans responded, "Have you seen the sort of reception Shah Rukh gets in even non-English speaking countries like Russia, Germany, France and Belgium? How many non-Hindi speaking women melt at the sight of Salman? Other than Jacqueline Fernandes, of course."

Bollywood breakthrough: Maine Pyar Kiya, 1989 – a soppy romantic drama about a couple of young lovers whose families don’t want them to get together – but they do in the end, with the help of an extremely clever pigeon and much singing and dancing.

Best films: Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Maine Pyar Kiya, Saajan, Dabangg, Biwi No 1, Tere Naam, Ek Tha ­Tiger, Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and Wanted.

Stand-out box-office dud: There are several contenders jostling for this slot, ranging from Veer and Hello Brother to God Tussi Great Ho and Phir Milenge, but the Big Turkey Award goes to Lucky: No Time for Love, a love story-cum-terrorist drama set in Russia and featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-lookalike Sneha Ullal as the female lead (Salman and Aishwarya dated for a short while until she broke up with him amid claims of abuse).

Controversies: Controversy is Salman Khan’s middle name, thanks to his “bad boy” image. The worst incident was the infamous hit-and-run case of 2003. A man sleeping on a Mumbai street died after being run over by a car allegedly driven by ­Salman, a charge he denies. He is also on trial for shooting a blackbuck – a kind of antelope that has been classified as an ­endangered species in India. Both ­trials are still under way – years later – and keep his name permanently in the news.

Fan following: Fans line up outside his Bandra residence in Mumbai every day. Tuk-tuk drivers stick his pictures on the back of vehicles and if customers say they are fans, give them a free ride. People make pilgrimages to Mumbai from far-flung ­villages just for a glimpse of him. And when posters of a new film are released, fans garland them with fresh flowers. Indian companies, including Amul, weave his name and the titles of his films into their advertising slogans. At the last count, he had more than 24 million fans – Salmaniacs – on Facebook and 11 million ­followers on Twitter.

Current projects: Salman is shooting Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan, about a young Pakistani girl who loses her way somewhere along the Indo-Pakistan border and finds herself in India. Here, she runs into a man (Salman, of course) who takes it upon himself to take her back home to her family. Meanwhile, he becomes very attached to the little girl. The movie is being filmed in India-controlled ­Kashmir, marking the first time the actor has filmed in the state. The film also stars Kareena Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui and will be released in July. His other film, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (Received a Treasure of Love), in which the female lead is Sonam Kapoor, is scheduled for release in November. The family drama, directed by Sooraj Barjatya, may be off schedule – Kapoor was hospitalised for a couple of weeks after being diagnosed with swine flu this month.

Popularity: Salman is a self-­confessed “non-actor” – he has never been known for his acting talent and relies more on his looks. He has become an icon for young men in northern and ­western India.

Aamir Khan

Born: March 14, 1965

Aamir comes from a line of Bollywood greats. His uncle, the producer Nasir Hussain, is best-known for his 1973 family drama Yaadon Ki Baarat, in which Aamir made his debut as a child actor.

Bollywood breakthrough: ­Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, 1988. Millions of women all over the country instantly fell for Aamir’s young, vulnerable character Raj in this tragedy about star-crossed lovers who elope after their ­feuding families forbid their union.

Salman Khan meets craziest fan

.It’s no secret that Bollywood actor Salman Khan has a huge fan following around the world, but until recently it was largely a secret how he reacts when his fans break into his photo shoots.

In a comic video in collaboration with The Viral Fever, Salman shows us how he deals with fans.

The video shows a young guy, bypass Salman’s security and turn up at his photo shoot to profess to the actor he is a huge fan. To the Bollywood actor’s shock, the fan claims he bunks school and watches four shows a day when Salman’s films are at the box office.

Visibly confused after hearing this, Salman asks the fan to call his father.  What happens next is unpredictable and hilarious. Watch it here:

Salman Khan vs Shah Rukh Khan: A never-before comparis

 .It’s Salman Khan’s birthday today (December 27)  and we decided to be nice to him for a change. It’s good going for the actor with Jai Ho’s release just around the corner (on January 24, 2014). Aamir Khan has just had a blockbuster release in Dhoom 3, but it is Shah Rukh Khan who is Salman’s arch-rival and not Aamir.

.Shah Rukh Khan has more hits to his name, say fans. REALLY? While Salman has given 24 hits in career (with 49 flops), King Khan has given 23 hits so far, they say. Salman scores on this based on facts.

.Have you seen any other Bollywood actor who looks a million bucks without his shirt? Is there any comparison? Salman is the hands down winner! Just check out SRK in Dard-e-Disco if you don’t believe 

Again, Salman has his own inimitable trademark, Dabangg style or even the earlier Oh oh jaane jaana style. SRK meanwhile only hops around with spiked hair mouthing ‘Khit-pit khit-pit’ or some such – the exception being Dil To Pagal Hai in which he has danced well. SRK’s trademark ‘hand gesture’ cannot be termed dancing!

.Salman has been charmed and dated the two of the most beautiful women in the world in Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif! We think that’s why men think Salman is god. Shah Rukh has been charming too but since he was married before he became a movie star, the girls don’t really fall for him ‘like that’!

.We found a fan comment on SRK that tells it all: “Did you know SRK gave eight duds before he hit the bull’s eye with Baazigar that was released in 1993. Though Shah Rukh got his first hit playing the anti-hero, he has since played nothing new in his movies. Salman on the other hand has tried something new from sensitive, funny, aggressive, charming — as the role demands. All we have seen from SRK, barring a handful films, is the ‘arms in the (h)air’ romantic hero who bleats away to glory like a mad goat!

 .Salman was voted the seventh best-looking man in the world by People magazine in 2004. Shah Rukh probably didn’t even make the shortlist!

 .Salman’s ventures on TV – 10 Ka Dum and Bigg Boss – fared much better than Shah Rukh’s stints on Kaun Banega Crorepati, Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hai and Wipeout – Zor Ka Jhatka in terms of viewer ratings and popularity.

 .Salman’s Prem and Chulbul Pandey character names are more endearing and popular than Shah Rukh’s common Rahul or Raj. Right?

.Ek baar Salman ne kisi cheez ki commitment de, toh phir woh apne aap ki bhi nahi sunta! Whereas SRK sirf ek insaan ki sunta hai: K K K K K Kiran! OK sorry, that was lame! On a serious note, SRK can back out of roles he has promised to do. Remember his transsexual role in Darmiyaan?

.What we get from Salman is honesty – brutal honesty to the point of embarrassing people. Though SRK is quite witty in real life, he sometimes does not speak from the heart we feel. Still have doubts? Like Salman says in his Chlormint ad: “Dobara mat poochchna!“ (who is better!).

Analysing the huge fan following of Salman Khan

.One can safely say that amongst the Bollywood male actors, Salman Khan has probably the most fan following. One can notice his avid fans on Twitter, Facebook, Pinkvilla and even in your day to day life.

Salman Khan is a good looking man and a descent actor. He has had a number of Highs and Lows in his career. The lows probably due to his brush with Police and the like. Everyone is aware of him being charged with culpable homicide(2002) and the infamous Chinkara case (2006).

On the other hand Salman is also well known for his charity work through the Being Human campaign.

He has had numerous hits in his career. The recent success of Dabanng, Ready and Bodyguard goes to prove the star power of Salman Khan.

Salman also debuted on TV on Dus Ka Dum which was hugely popular. Big Boss followed.

In this post I want to pose an open question to his fans as to why they love him so much?. Is it his acting, his looks or his social service that is driving his super fandom. What do you think?

P.S: I am f

Here's how Salman Khan beat Shah Rukh Khan yet again

.Undeniably, Salman Khan is the ruler of the box office. With his films bringing in huge moolah and his career boasting of multiple blockbusters in the past few years, Salman Khan has dethroned Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan from the top spots.

While Aamir still manages to bring in huge numbers, so does Shah Rukh. But the euphoria and anticipation around Bhai's films is unmatchable. With 2014 drawing to a closure and Salman's Kick standing the tallest in the numbers game, our Dabangg Khan has already beaten SRK in this year's Forbes' list.

But he seems to have done it again. Google survey on Tuesday revealed that Salman Khan is the most searched celebrity on the Internet in the year that is about to end. With films like Jai Ho and Kick in the theatres and his Bigg Boss 8 stint on the small screen, Salman seemed to have been there everywhere throughout the year.

Following Salman is SRK who comes a close second. SRK, who has been in news for his magnum opus Happy New Year right since the first poster release in the first quarter of 2014, lost out to Salman Khan in this context. SRK's HNY also did brilliant business at the box office, becoming the second biggest grosser in India and the biggest grosser overall. But when it came to star power, he seemed to have lost it again to good friend Salman.

Surprisingly, the other Khan- Aamir did not even make it to the top 10 list which includes actors like Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor and others. While Akshay and Ranbir enjoy the 3rd and 4th spot, Shahid Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan and Varun Dhawan occupied the 5th, 6th and 7th spots.

Also joining them on the list was Ranveer Singh, Fawad Khan and Emraan Hashmi who occupied the 8th, 9th and 10th spots respectively.

Salman Khan's huge fan base to 'bhai' image: Why his films are all-time Box Office hits

.Salman Khan-movies have become a genre in itself for his loyal fans. For the last five years, every movie featuring Salman in the lead has had a record break success at the box office. ‘Jai Ho’ was the only exception which wasn’t as successful, but it had still made it into the 100-crore bracket.
Kabir Khan directed ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, was one of the biggest earners this year, as its worldwide collection amounted to Rs 603 crore. Based on the life of a simple, Hanuman bhakt Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ saw unprecedented success in terms of revenue collection. The real life story of Geeta, the deaf and mute Indian girl who strayed to Pakistan got equated with Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which elevated its value.

Shah Rukh khan lands 13 million fan following on twitter

.Shah Rukh khan has surpassed Salman Khan and Aamir Khan and is second only to megastar Amitabh Bachchan as far as the numbers of Twitter followers of Bollywood celebrities are concerned.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh khan has hit a new record on social media as his twitter fan following touched a huge figure of 13 million.
The “Chennai Express” star is currently busy cheering up for his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing IPL series.
“And the love just keeps growing by leaps and bounds! Congrats @iamsrk! #SRK13Million”, tweeted Red Chillies entertainment, Shah Rukh’s production house.
