Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has worked with all three Khans of the film industry, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. In a recent interview with The Lallantop, Paresh shared his experience of working with SRK, Salman, and Aamir. During the conversation, he also referred to his Hera Pheri co-star Akshay Kumar as a “colleague, not a friend.”
During a Q and A session, when asked who he liked best among the Khan trio, the actor replied, “Personally, I like Aamir better, if I talk about work. He doesn’t believe in any gestures or mannerisms. But Salman is full of it, he is a natural. He has another level of charm and charisma.”
He added, “Shah Rukh has a lot of tenacity. Look at him in Swades, what an amazing performance he has given. No one can say that this is Shah Rukh Khan. Sum total, acting mein koi bada, superior, inferior, ghatiya, great nahi hai. Everyone is different and good in their own place.”
When shown his picture with actor Akshay Kumar, who he has worked with in several films, including Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and Welcome, to name a few, Paresh Rawal said that he can call him a colleague rather than a friend. He also named his friends in the film industry. “Film industry mein colleagues hote hain, theatre mein dost hote hain, aur school mein jigar jaan dost hote hain. Yes. Some people who I can respectfully call my friends – Late Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, and Johny Lever. I can call these people my friends,” he expressed.
On the work front, Paresh Rawal has Welcome To The Jungle and Hera Pheri 3 in the pipeline.
