Have any of you observed any changes in Amir Khan recently? I am talking about his outreach activities. Yea, he is blogging now and is well known for his infamous blog about his dog named after SRK; clearly, showing his insecurity. He is also engaging in several activities quite uncharacteristic of him. For example, appearing on game shows! can you beleive it?! the perfectionist khan on game shows to promote his film and that too along with his nephew. Next, he organizes one huge premier show of this film Jaane Tu with all the stars of Bollywood invited (but not SRK). And now…drum roll…in a show hosted by Sajid Khan (Farah Khan’s brother and director of Hey Baby) in the soon to be launched channel Colors, Amir will spill the beans over why he not been attending award functions for the last 17 years.
I actually heard this reason a long long time back, but its nice to have it confirmed now. 17 years ago…thats 1991, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and Beta (Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit) were competing at the awards. It is rumored that Anil Kapoor bribed the Filmfare walas and took home the best actor and best actress awards. Amir, who believed that Jo Jeeta was a much more superior film had to win awards, was upset when the film didn’t win any award. Amir was so upset that since then he hasn’t shown up at awards.
hmm….cummon now…this is really childish. Such things happen….mass films always score over classy films. Pehla nasha...is a great song and is a classic, but Madhuri’s Dhak Dhak…still gets the men to go Dhak Dhak. Now, let us take DDLJ versus Rangeela. True, Amir Khan’s performance is a class apart, but DDLJ as a whole had greater appeal and it is still running. Yes, SRK took the award that year.
Anyways, it is kinda strange to see Amir making his presence felt in ways he never did before. Looks like he going the SRK way…perfectionist khan…? ya, right! the title is over-hyped. Amir Khan just a good actor and his acting excels only if the script ranges from great to excellent. He is totally incapable of elevating a simple film the way SRK can.
The interesting thing to see will be Amir shows up at Award Shows this year.

You must be so stupid to compare Aamir with Srk. Srk has no class at all. He is way over rated. He is so stupid to make nonsense comments about other but when its his turns he cann’t accept. So he thinks since he is the bollywood
king (SO WRONG) its ok for him to say BS about others. And you dull head learn to spell Aamir’s name first.

SRK is the worst actor of Bollywood. He overacts in every movie and Indian audiences(most of them) are so foolish to accept him.
If there is one Avant Garde actor in Bollywood, it is Aamir all the way.
He is the true star who can make any movie special even by working with NON-FRIEND directors.
SRK always butters up Farah Khan, Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra so they cast him in their every film and he puts up a show of friendship with them, when in reality he is one of the most selfish, egotistical and meanest persons in the film industry.
Aamir is the WAY bollywood should go if they want to compete with Hollywood.

Its only bcoz he started to promote his films …so he has suddenly became just a “good actor”!!..rubbish man frst learn to know things correctly….
when srk does dis it is understandable..weak story line..nd same jail out acting!!boring……..so he got to publicite his films….
but 4 Aamir….its diff..now that he runs his own Production House…its obvious that he must publicite his films correctly..properly..which he does!!
i know u r now gonna say that okk so he became a buissman suddenly!!..isn’t..
well in true sense..after all its better than to buy some T20 team 4nothing nd then losing badly..what a shame!!…4u too!!!

i always liked aamir khan’s work/ very classic and realistic/ i even dont want to compare him w/ srk/ srk is all about commercials/ nothing real / people should praise aamir’s work not srk/
Adnan khan said
Its unworthy to compare two big superstars.. Each of them have a different style of acting.. I think both of them are excellent.. My wishes are with them..

Its so sad how people like to bring the person thats at the top of his or her profession down. As a owner of 8 cinemas, I will take a SRK movie over any actor at the current time. He fits the phrase “money in the bank” to the tee. I haven’t seen any other actor have more hits in the last 5 years as SRK. I am a huge Aamir fan but there is no better money actor then SRK.
Danish R said
BOTH KHANs are same and they are not favor to public entertainment or anything. They are just making money and they started fighting because they just want to spread rumors and gosips to attract public. Both are foolish.
Bye
Who cares said
Funny how you don’t mention the rest of Anil’s comments. He also mentions that SRK pays Filmfare for his awards – in as much a joking manner as he references Aamir:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA7unYaOfaI
Anil never even says that him winning the award for Beta is the reason Aamir banned award shows; in fact, Sajid is the one who brings up the fact that Aamir stopped coming to shows after that year. Stop making crap up and at least don’t put your words or opinions into the mouths of famous and admirable stars.

What? Aamir better than SRK No Way !
I am not saying Aamir isnt worth anything, he sure has his own style. But is SRK is better because :
1) He can deliver the most emotional dialogues superbly by captivating the audience.
2) Has an un-matchable laughter style.
3) Comedy +action + romance+social he can do anything
4) He can deliver some strong emotions and messages amazingly just with a slight tilt of head or a stress on the eyebrows.

mr. inkenti..
I wonder with that little or even sometimes seems no thoughts of your own how did you manage to come up with this..it commendable.. srk knows to deliver ham scenes .. Aamir is altogether a different league and class apart from srk…clearly you lack the taste and belong to himmesh reshmiya type movies where B grade songs get whistles… so pls. stop dont comment on movies like jo jeeta wohi sikander…its not your cup of tea…

Rakaj,
“and about film fare…or any other award show…lots of best actors and actress get nominated the only person that wins is SRK…”
Aamir behaved like a loser by boycotting awards. Now you are also behaving like one.
SRK @ Filmfare
Best Actor Baazigar (1993) – Aamir thinks he should have got for HHRPK. Lol!
Best Actor DDLJ (1995) – Aamir thinks he should have got for Rangeela. Lol!
(Rangeela is just over-rated. It was not considered a serious contender by any award show in 1995.)
Best Actor DTPH (1997) – Aamir thinks he should have got for Ishq. Lol!
Best Actor KKHH (1998) – Aamir thinks he should have got for Mann. Lol!
Best Actor Devdas (2002) – No release for Aamir
Best Actor Swades (2004) – No release for Aamir
Best Actor CDI (2007) – Aamir was nominated in Best Supporting Actor
SRK didn’t get the Best Actor Award for Mohabbatein. Hrithik got it for Kaho Na Pyaar Hai.
–
Aamir @ Filmfare
Best Actor Raja Hindustani (1996)
Best Actor Lagaan (2001)
Critics Best Actor RDB (2006) – This is probably the only time he deserved the Best Actor Award for RDB, but Hrithik got it for Dhoom 2.
In short, Aamir and you should be pissed off with Hrithik rather than SRK.
–
Incidentally, Hrithik has got Filmfare Awards almost every time he was nominated.
2000 – Kaho Na Pyaar Hai
2003 – Koi Mil Gaya
2007 – Dhoom 2
