Here’s what Rajkummar Rao has to say on being compared to Salman, Aamir and SRK

Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are the three superstars of Bollywood. There was a time when their name was enough to make a film blockbuster at the box office. But from the past couple of years, that’s not happening. Well, audiences have started comparing, Ayushmann Khurrana, Vicky Kaushal and Rajkummar Rao with the three Khans.


Recently, when we met Rajkummar Rao and asked him about being compared to SRK, Aamir, and Salman, he said, “Nobody can be the new three Khans of Bollywood. The kind of status, the kind of superstardom they have, we love them as superstars and they are our superstars. So, I think people just compare and they tend to do that, but I think we are very happy in the space that we are there. Aamir sir, Salman sir, and Shah Rukh sir, they are people that we also love. We never in our dream also can think of becoming like them. They are huge.”

Rajkummar Rao is undoubtedly one of the most talented actors we have in the industry. He started his career with small roles in movies Love Sex Aur Dhokha, Shaitan and Talaash. But he became a household name with his performance in Kai Po Che and then there was no looking back for him.

Rao received a National Award for his performance in Shahid. Last year, with Stree he gave the biggest hit of his career. The actor is gearing up for the release of Made In China which is slated to hit the screens on 25th Oct 2019. The movie also stars Mouni Roy and Boman Irani. It has received mixed to positive reviews.

Harvey Weinstein asks court to speed up retrial amid health concerns

Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer, pleaded with a New York court to move up his retrial for sex crimes, citing his poor health and the harsh conditions at Rikers Island jail, which he described as a "hellhole." During a hearing in Manhattan on Wednesday, Judge Curtis Farber set the trial date for April 15, but Weinstein, 72, argued he might not survive that long due to his deteriorating health.

Weinstein, who appeared in court in a wheelchair, told the judge he is battling multiple health issues, including cancer, diabetes, and heart problems. He emphasised that every day at Rikers is a struggle, calling the facility "medieval" and claiming he was recently given the wrong medication. "I can't hold on anymore. I want justice for myself and this to be over with," he said.

Ameesha Patel responds to marriage rumours with Salman Khan: "Finding the right partner is key"

Ameesha Patel recently addressed the curious questions from her fans about the possibility of her marrying Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. During a fun Twitter chat, Ameesha was asked about the idea of marriage, especially considering that both are still bachelors and, as the fans pointed out, “good-looking.” The actress laughed at the suggestion and shared her thoughts, acknowledging that people love seeing attractive individuals come together. She even joked that it was a “great reason” for fans to want her and Salman to tie the knot.

Ameesha recalled how after her iconic debut film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai with Hrithik Roshan, fans were eager for the two to become a real-life couple. When Hrithik announced his marriage, many fans were left heartbroken, highlighting the way on-screen chemistry often sparks similar hopes for off-screen relationships. Ameesha further expressed her openness to marriage but humorously mentioned that finding the right partner has been a challenge.
