Which Khan will fade away sooner? - Page 2

People who are saying SRK: I think you're kind of missing the point that this guy has IMMENSE star power...greater than Salman and Aamir. At least outside of India for sure. Non-Indians flock to see his movies here. They know of the name Shahrukh. He's become a huge international icon for many film lovers. I'm not saying that because I'm a fan. But I see it around me constantly. He isn't going anywhere any time soon. The only reason he will fade away is a) scripts stop coming to him, b) God forbid, health comes in the way. Otherwise he's here to stay. :-)

I respectfully disagree with this assessment. Unless people are specifically familiar with Bollywood and are fans of Hindi films then they have no clue who SRK is, or Aishwarya or Amitabh Bachchan for that matter. Yes there are millions of non-Indian Bollywood fans. But these fans are not immune to changing times, changing tastes in films, and actors' growing weaknesses. SRK is not indispensable to outside fans anymore than he is to inside of India fans.

And I respectfully, as well, beg to differ with your statements. You're making a generalization - an assumption. There are also plenty of non-Indians who follow Bollywood just like we Indians do. Names like Shahrukh and Aishwarya are very well known and popular here, at least in America. I don't know how it is in India, but here the craze is evident. That I can assure for. Trust me when I say he won't be fading any time soon unless one of the two reasons mentioned in my previous post.

I live in America too. But I assure you none of my American friends have a clue who any if these people are. The average American citizen who is not of Indo-Pak or Middle Eastern background doesn't know anything about Bollywood. Maybe Jai Ho because of A.R. Rahman and SDM. But no, they don't know of SRK at all. I acknowledged in my post that a lot of non-Indians are Bollywood fans. But I also don't believe that their tastes in movies and acting will never change. SRK is failing to adapt to the changing times and this will catch up with him, if it hasn't already. Nothing is absolute when it comes to art and taste, and SRK is no exception.
