The Khans have ruled Bollywood for decades. But beyond box office dominance, they have also won the admiration of many leading ladies in the industry. Several actresses have not only worked with them but have also spoken about the joy of sharing screen space with the iconic trio. Kareena Kapoor is one such star, fortunate to have collaborated with all three Khans. However, did you know there was a time when Kareena was in awe of Shah Rukh Khan but didn’t care much for Salman Khan? In an old interview with Indya.com, she candidly shared her early impressions of the Khans during her initial years in the industry.
While Kareena openly expressed her deep admiration for Shah Rukh, she was equally candid about her dislike for Salman. Speaking about SRK, the actress said, “I’m totally in love with him. Don’t even ask me about him because if I start, I won’t stop talking about him for hours. Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh are the only two actors I admire. There is something about Shah Rukh that is amazing. He has that very boy-next-door appeal, which makes every girl want to take him home to her parents. His performances touch me.”
On the other hand, while talking about Salman, she said, “I’m not at all a Salman fan. I don’t like him, he’s a very bad actor. I tell him that he hams all the time. Aamir’s good, I really liked him in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and QSQT, but out of the Khans, I’m a total Shah Rukh fan.”
When it comes to working with the Khans, Kareena Kapoor has shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Asoka, Ra.One, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. With Salman Khan, she has starred in films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Bodyguard, and Kyon Ki. Her collaborations with Aamir Khan include Laal Singh Chaddha, Talaash, and 3 Idiots.
