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!).
