Bollywood actor, Saif Ali Khan appeared in an interview with an Indian publication and revealed that he does not mind being less successful than other Khans- Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan.
The 50-year-old said, “I have to say these guys - Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir - were kind of born somehow to be actors. I think it must have been a childhood ambition. Certainly, I know it was for two of them. I don’t know if it was Salman’s ambition anyway but he was certainly built for it and made for the kind of success he saw.”
He went on, “I joined movies at a time where you got to aim to either be a superstar or not bother. And there’s a point there. It wasn’t really about nuance, different kinds of characters...all that has happened now.”
Saif added, “For me, films have also changed. I am being offered complex roles and parts, and it is possible to make a lucrative living that can support a fairly lovely lifestyle.”
The Tandav actor further revealed that Akshay Kumar helped him in being a better actor. He shared, “If I was cute and fun in a lot of movies and I did a lot of work with Akshay Kumar, who perhaps lacked at that point, cute and fun, so we made a kind of super-person and found our way in the industry. I completed him and he completed me. I think that’s why we are so fond of each other till today. We realise we owe each other that, in a sense. Usually, a solo successful superstar like these guys (the Khans) don’t need someone to complete them.”
