I don't think Shah Rukh ever was 'King Khan': Aamir Khan
Keeping up his swipes at superstar Shah Rukh Khan and the No.1 slot in Bollywood, Aamir Khan, riding on the super success of his revenge drama 'Ghajini', has said he never thought Shah Rukh was ever on the top pedestal at all.
He also said Oscar-winning 'Slumdog Millionaire' failed to 'touch' him.
Aamir, during CNN's special edition of 'Talk Asia', was asked how he feels about being termed the new 'King Khan' after the success of 'Ghajini'. He replied: 'I had absolutely no intention of kicking Shah Rukh off his pedestal. Though I have to say, I don't think he ever was on it.'
Elaborating, Aamir said: 'In my opinion, the actor who I really look up to is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He is someone whose work I really like, a fantastic actor and the kind of stardom Mr. Bachchan has seen, none of us can ever hope to see.'
The 44-year-old actor, whose latest work, the Hindi remake of Tamil film 'Ghajini', was a success at the box office, says he feels satisfied with his films only if they turn out to be as they are intended.
'You can never really tell until you see a film with the audience. How it is going to play with the audience. For me, what is important is that when I see the film once it is ready, has it turned out the way we wanted it to? If we have done that, then that makes me feel happy,' he said.
Aamir, whose own directorial debut film 'Taare Zameen Par', failed to get nominated in the foreign film category at the 81st Annual Academy Awards this year, says that 'Slumdog Millionaire' failed to 'touch' him.
'I thought the movie was well intended. It was a very sincere attempt, but it didn't touch me personally, and I suspect it because I'm not used to watching Indians speak English, all these slum kids talking in English... it's strange,' said Aamir.
This episode of 'Talk Asia' will be aired on March 25 at 6 p.m. on CNN.
Aamir Khan Sardarji Look Tata Sky Advertizement Pictures
Aamir Khan said “As an actor it’s hard for me to try to play with my age. I play a sixty-year-old Sardar for the new Tata Sky campaign”. I’ve played all kinds of characters before, but never a Sardar. Although I played a Punjabi character in Rang De basanti but this is the first time as Sardar full on. When you have to get into many sets with Turban and beard. I hate this beard as it is much rubber on the very annoying. but you must do it when you need to do it.
Tata Sky is a brand I was very pleasant to associate with me because of the kind of standards it believes in.. When it comes to quality and service, and the brand Tata Sky stands for.

Hrithik Roshan flew to Goa in style….
Last evening, Hrithik Roshan flew to Goa in style. He chartered a plane and flew to Goa with wife Sussane and two sons, Hrehaan and Hridaan. Hrithik and family were in Goa to attend the bash thrown by his sister-in-law and her husband, Farah Ali Khan and DJ Aqeel. The couple renewed their wedding vows on the occasion of completing ten successful years of their marriage.



Several friends and relatives of the Roshans and the Khans attended the party. We spoke to Sunaina Roshan, Hrithik’s sister, who said, “Hrithik had to charter the special flight because he planned to return to Mumbai as soon as the party was over, maybe the same night.”
And while Farah is renewing her wedding vows, she seemed to have had a great time. When we had called her up in Goa, all she said was, “I just can’t hear you guys… There’s too much of loud music around me!”
