Aamir Khan, one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actors, recently shared a thought-provoking perspective on stardom and legacy. While many believe that Aamir, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan are the “last of the stars” and that new-age actors may never replicate their success, Aamir disagrees. In a candid conversation with Instant Bollywood, he expressed his belief that everything in life is transient, including fame.
“I don’t think there will be no stars after us. Many will come after us, and we won’t even be counted. You will forget us,” Aamir said. He added, “This is the way of the world—creation and destruction go hand in hand. Lord Mahesh (Shiva) ensures destruction, and eventually, you forget everything.”
This humble take from the Lagaan actor reflects his philosophical outlook on life and stardom. Despite being part of the iconic Khan trio that has dominated Bollywood for decades, Aamir remains grounded and realistic about the future of cinema and its stars.
The Dream Collaboration: Aamir, Shah Rukh, and Salman in One Film
Fans of Bollywood’s three Khans have long dreamed of seeing Aamir, Shah Rukh, and Salman share the screen in a single film. Aamir recently revealed that the trio is eager to collaborate but is waiting for the right script. Speaking at a meet-and-greet event ahead of his 60th birthday, Aamir shared that the audience’s excitement for such a project motivates him.
However, he admitted that finding a suitable script for a three-hero film is no easy task. “It’s challenging to create a story that does justice to all three characters,” Aamir explained. He emphasized that his excitement for the collaboration isn’t driven by nostalgia but by the fact that the three have never worked together in the same film.
Interestingly, while Aamir and Salman starred together in the 1994 cult classic Andaz Apna Apna, Aamir has never shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan. On the other hand, Shah Rukh and Salman have collaborated multiple times, including in Karan Arjun (1995), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002), and most recently in Pathaan (2023).
Why This Collaboration Matters
The idea of Aamir, Shah Rukh, and Salman coming together for a film is more than just a cinematic event—it’s a cultural moment. The three Khans have shaped Bollywood for over three decades, delivering blockbusters that have defined Indian cinema. A collaboration between them would not only break box office records but also create a historic moment for fans worldwide.
Aamir’s recent comments have reignited hope for this dream project. While the script hunt continues, fans can’t help but imagine the magic these three legends could create together.
Final Thoughts
Aamir Khan’s reflections on stardom and his openness to a collaboration with Shah Rukh and Salman offer a glimpse into his mindset. While he acknowledges the inevitability of change and the rise of new stars, he remains passionate about his craft and the possibilities it holds.
For now, fans can only wait and hope that the perfect script emerges, bringing together the three Khans for an unforgettable cinematic experience. Until then, Aamir’s words remind us that even the biggest stars are part of a larger cycle of creation and destruction—a cycle that keeps the world of cinema forever evolving.
