Star Wars Erupt Again as Aamir Disses SRK! How Will He Retaliate?
Filed under : Aamir Khan, Bitchiest
Slumdog Millionaire ace Danny Boyle thought he’d have it much easier in Bollywood, after his debut emerged as a runaway success – both critically and commercially. This man, who has worked with some of Hollywood’s most awe-inspiring names like Leonardo Dicaprio and Tilda Swinton, probably expected the same level of professionalism and dignity with our Bollywood brat-pack, when he decided to launch his second Mumbai-based film named Bombay Velvet.
And so, against all odds (read: starry tantrums), he worked hard to rope in the two reigning superstars of Bollywoodland – namely, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, in what was touted to be a casting coup of sorts. In the past, SRK has made no secret of his disdain (professional jealousy?) of Aamir, with generous sound bites and entire interviews dedicated to bad mouthing the Ghajini star. Not one to be outdone, Aamir responds in kind… creating a very boring, tiring and tedious Bollywood Star Wars for our news-starved media to lap up.
However, when working with a reputable, Oscar-winning name like Mr. Boyle, one would imagine that these two studs would put their petty disputes aside and get to the task of creating celluloid magic – after all, isn’t that what their job is really all about? Unfortunately, our Khan klan seems to think otherwise.
After a well-deserved (at least for us) vacation with wife Kiran, Aamir Khan is back where he began…taking cheap and totally unnecessary potshots at SRK. According to fresh reports from a leading Mumbai daily:
When Aamir walked in late on Sunday night, he was approached for an interview by a TV reporter. Since Aamir had returned from France, the reporter wanted to know whether, he too, like SRK, was stopped at international airports and interrogated for being a Khan. That’s when Aamir retorted that such checks are a routine matter. He also added tongue-in-cheek that, ‘No one checks me as I am an idiot’, obviously referring to his forthcoming film, 3 Idiots. Then he went on to add that SRK had a problem as he is very intelligent. Aamir’s obvious reference means that the fuss created by SRK about being stopped at the airports was a mere publicity stunt.
C’mon Aamir! Can we give the childish war of words a rest already? Yes, we know SRK created a huge hullabaloo over an incident which is almost commonplace in today’s times, and yes, we understand that it might have something to do with the subject matter of his latest flick My Name is Khan which deals with the plight of Indians in New York. It was a cheap publicity stunt… we get that.
As one of the leading names in Indian cinema, you should know better than to act like an immature, SRK-obsessed tattle-tale, whose only means of publicity is to diss another colleague. It’s called professionalism and it’s about time you learnt some.
Squeeze a bit more!

Our stupid lapdog media has made a story out of a non-story, a war where there was none, simply a small joke that DID NOT speak ill of SRK–and all you internet sheep can do is repeat what TOI’s unprincipled journo has done–find meaning where there was none. So Aaamir called himself an idiot (starting promotion of Dec release) and added (cheekily, agreed!) that SRK was intelligent, so he got frisked, faced problem. Bas. Did Aamir say anything else? Why interpret his small quip to mean that he dissed SRK’s airport frisking as a publicity stunt? Why make up interpretations and pass it off all over the net, simply to start another war amongst SRK-Aamir fans–if not the stars themselves?
Unprincipled bunch, nth rate media .
