Kajol Praises SRK and Aamir’s Professionalism but Says Salman Khan Has Unmatched Star Power
Kajol opens up about her experience with Bollywood’s Khans, calling Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan true professionals - yet says Salman Khan's star power is on another level. Read what she had to say.
Kajol says Salman Khan’s star power is unmatched, despite SRK and Aamir’s professionalism.
In a candid chat with Galatta India, veteran actress Kajol shared her perspective on working with Bollywood’s three iconic Khans — Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan. Having starred alongside all three over her illustrious career, Kajol praised their professionalism but made it clear that when it comes to pure star power, Salman Khan stands unrivaled.
“SRK and Aamir Deserve All the Trophies”
Kajol was effusive in her praise for both Shah Rukh and Aamir, saying, “They deserve all the trophies when it comes to dedication.” She highlighted their deep commitment to acting, calling them “extremely professional” and serious about their craft.
“Salman Is Salman Khan — You Just Can’t Argue With That”
When asked about Salman Khan, Kajol’s tone shifted with admiration: “Salman is Salman Khan. You can’t argue with that. He’s remained the same over the years, and that in itself is incredible.”
She also quoted Aamir Khan, who once remarked, “Salman is definitely a bigger star than me, because no matter how his film performs, it still manages to cross ₹100 crore. And his fans adore him like crazy.”
Even after being reminded that Akshay Kumar had matched Salman’s record of 18 ₹100 crore films, Kajol stood firm: “Wow, that’s amazing! But when we talk about sheer star power, I think even Akshay would agree, you just can’t touch Salman’s star power.”
Kajol and Salman’s Iconic On-Screen Moments
Kajol and Salman have shared the screen in some of Bollywood’s most beloved films, including Karan Arjun, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya. Their on-screen chemistry, particularly in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, continues to be a fan favorite from the 1990s era.
What’s Next for Kajol and Salman?
Kajol is set to appear in Maa, a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia, scheduled to release on June 27. Meanwhile, Salman Khan was last seen in Sikandar and has multiple big projects lined up, including a film with Sanjay Dutt and the much-awaited Kick 2.
