Dn't compare me wid Big B I'm an upstart

Bhupendra Chaubey: Let me then ask you, as we come towards the end of our interview, Shah Rukh, a lot has been made out of similarities and rivalry between you and Amitabh Bachchan. First, are there any similarities between the two of you?

Shah Rukh Khan: We're the same height.😆

Bhupendra Chaubey: And that's it?

Shah Rukh Khan: And that's it.

Bhupendra Chaubey: Okay…

Shah Rukh Khan: And the voice is exactly the same.😆

Bhupendra Chaubey: Okay…

Shah Rukh Khan: And I'm left-handed.

Bhupendra Chaubey: So, therein the differences have also been taken care of.

Shah Rukh Khan: No, you know what happens is, one aspect I'll say first – and in no which-way to deride the importance of any actor that is being compared with me, or I being compared to. Sometimes, it's a great honour when people compare me to Dilipsaab and to Mr Bachchan. And I'm like, okay, this is good. And it used to sound very good. A lot of people are talking about him and me in the same breath. And here I was and I just wanted to look at their hands, and touch them, and feel them, and act with them! So it's really a great honour.

But on the other hand, for the last 16 years – since 1991 that I've been acting – every six to seven months, I'm compared to someone, and about three-four years ago I realised that there is consistency here, that I'm being compared to someone. Sometimes, a newcomer is kicking my butt. Sometimes, my contemporary is shoving me out. Sometimes, a senior person is better than me. And I'm like, why am I the sole, one factor that everyone is comparing to? I suddenly realised that's a compliment. It's really nice – I'm consistently there. That's why people are comparing me with everyone who's coming, who's shoving me, still being there. I have started overlooking it. And as far as Mr Bachchan and me are concerned, we really have no rivalry, we have no stress. We are very fond of each other, as colleagues. See, there is a huge age difference, so I am closer to Abhishek, of course. But, with Mr Bachchan, you can't not get up when he walks in.

Bhupendra Chaubey: I recently did an interview with Mr Bachchan, just last month, in fact, when I asked him the same question what he thought about you, and he said, "Shah Rukh, according to me, is the best ever actor," and when I asked him if he was to compare you and Abhishek Bachchan, he said, "There is no comparison, Shah Rukh Khan is the best".

Shah Rukh Khan: And also, it is unfair. It's unfair! It's exactly as unfair to compare a younger actor to me, because there is no body of work, you're putting too much pressure. It's also unfair to me, because I've been working for 15 years. Similarly, when you're comparing me to Mr Bachchan, it's unfair to him, that I, you know, that I'm an upstart, compared to him. We have no rivalry. We have no issues. I'll say it one more time and I'll have to put a tape recorder in my mouth. We have great fun when we are working together. When we are working together, we play a lot of games. We have similar interests also. We like asking question-answers like KBC.

Bhupendra Chaubey: And both of you ended up being hosts also.

Shah Rukh Khan: Yeah, yeah, we do, we do. We do KBC with each other.

that's a personal attack Ms...SRK fan. srk needs to get hold of him self so does his fans🤢

Everyone please CHILLLL.

Coming back to article, its always great fun to read SRK interviews, he is the BEST INTERVIEWEE ever. I have been reading articles every day and trust me after reading everyone's interviews there is one conclusion: SRK is the BEST in giving interviews, his replies are not only hilarious but sometimes sarcastic too and this sarcasm not like in a bad way but a good one.

He is right there when he said about comparing younger actors to older ones and vice versa.

which is not true. remember last year's Dhamaka Topic where he kept on making fun of the LRMB. which was terrible. he thinks he's funny so does his fans. NOT ME. that also goes for big b for taking it too each other. Both aren't that great actors. but they sure do have a lot of fan following😛. which is some time unnecessary
