Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan recently made their presence felt an event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Much to the delight of all the fans and movie lovers, they shared the bonhomie, experiences and friendship and also gave a hint about their potential collaboration for a multistarrer on the big screen.
Salman said "None of us call ourselves stars. Some journalists may write ‘Salman Khan, star’ or ‘Aamir Khan, super duper star’, but we don’t believe in it at all. At home, we are just like everyone else. I still get yelled at by my father and mother,”
He continued “It’s the people we work with — the directors, DOPs, writers — and the audiences who make us who we are. They’re the ones who turn average, mediocre people like me into what you see on screen,”
Shah Rukh Khan shared "Aamir is extremely organised, perfectionist as they call him... He works very hard trying to tell a story. Salman has his freewheeling way to come in and work because it comes from the heart. I try to amalgamate both of these. But at the end, the core value that the three of us, all other stars and lots of other stars who will come along the way, there is a emotional connect that our films have."
He continued "Maybe it is our culture or maybe we belong to India... there is a familial connect somewhere, whatever be the story. If I'm playing good guy, bad guy, happy guy, poor guy or rich guy, whatever character we are playing, I think the culture part of it and the emotional connect transcends boundaries of language and platforms,"
Shah Rukh added "I always make sure they get entertainment, and I am forever grateful for the love and support my fans have given me over the last 35 years... I look up to these guys. Look at me, I’m still looking up to Salman! They are aspirational and inspirational, and I feel really grateful to sit on the same stage with them,"
Aamir Khan said "Perhaps all three of us were fortunate to be born in India, where we could be a part of Hindi cinema. Had we been born somewhere else, we wouldn’t have been here,”
He continued “It’s about opportunity, being in the right place at the right time. Of course, everyone works hard, but many factors work in your favour that are beyond your control,”
In one of the most viral moments from the session, Salman pointed out that both he and Aamir hail from film families. "But this man here didn’t — he came from Delhi," he said.
To this, Shah Rukh responded, “Salman, I’m sorry, but I also come from a film family. Salman’s family is my family. Aamir’s family is my family.”
Aamir quipped, “Now you know why Shah Rukh is a star,” drawing an applause from the audience.
Shah Rukh about multi starrer said "It’s been too long I’ve been humble... I’ve been too nice, too kind. I have to say, if three of us are in a project, it is a dream itself. Hopefully not a nightmare... Inshallah, whenever we get an opportunity, a story, we’re always sitting, whenever Aamir, Salman, and myself, we get together... I feel thankful to be on the same stage with them,"
Salman quipped "So, Shah Rukh has this one thing. He keeps saying over and over again… I want him to say that here. Try and say that here that nobody can afford us three in a film together. Say it."
Shah Rukh replied, “I don’t want to say it in Saudi because everyone will get up and say, ‘Habibi, done, done, done!’ Affordability isn’t just about money — it’s about time, eccentricities, and the way we work. We joke so much that any director will have to tell us to start working!”
Aamir added "It's just a matter of coming across the right script. So hopefully... it's going to be the script that's going to be the most important for the three of us,"
