Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently shared his opinion on which among Bollywood's three famous Khans holds the top spot in terms of popularity. During a conversation with Komal Nahta, he ranked Shah Rukh Khan as the most popular, followed by Salman Khan and then Aamir Khan. However, Kashyap acknowledged Aamir Khan as the most hardworking and shrewd among the trio, noting his producer skills. Anurag has not worked with any of the three Khans directly, though his brother Abhinav Kashyap directed Salman in Dabangg before their professional relationship soured. Last month, the three Khans made a rare joint appearance at the Joy Forum in Riyadh, discussing their careers and friendship. Shah Rukh recently received the National Award for Best Actor for Jawan, while Salman's Sikandar released during Eid. Aamir appeared in Sitaare Zameen Par. Shah Rukh's next film King, featuring Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone, had its title reveal on his birthday.
Kashyap's Take on the Three Khans' Popularity
Anurag Kashyap stated clearly that Shah Rukh Khan is the most popular among Bollywood's leading Khans, with Salman Khan in second place and Aamir Khan third. Despite this ranking, he praised Aamir as the most hardworking and shrewd, highlighting his abilities as a producer. While Anurag has never collaborated directly with these stars, his brother Abhinav Kashyap directed Salman in Dabangg, though they later parted ways professionally. Anurag and Shah Rukh both had cameo appearances in Zoya Akhtar's Luck by Chance. The three Khans recently appeared together at the Joy Forum in Riyadh, where they discussed their long careers and enduring friendship over the years.
