Good thing SRK was a romantic hero, actually THE romantic hero, "king of romance". So he benefited most from his romantic songs that people still sing. SRK is also a really humble, sweet guy who says nice things about everyone. Didn't you see Secret life of washed up Bollywood wives? I am sure if he was taken to a Kailash Khair event and asked to give his input he would've said Kailash Khair is the reason I made it in this industry, he gave me a new voice. By the time Sonu got his big SRK song (which is an ugly song by the way, I will never understand how this was popular. Even sim sim pola was better than yeh dil) SRK was already the romantic hero and the star we know him as. If you named the movies that made him who he is, chances are you will find like 2-3 songs in there sung by Sonu and the rest are all Abhijeet and Udit.
And bolne me kya hai dude? Even Sonu said Arijit is a much better singer than him and Armaan Malik is at the same level.
