Do fan letters reflect stardom more than box office records? Go check sk’s box office record from that time. Sk had many fans from the previous decade (90s) where he was the a rage among young girls and boys for his body but among people of early and mid 2000s he wasn’t a superstar. Most people were neutral about him until Wanted happened. And he started doing tv in 2008-2009, just around the time wanted happened
Salman became a superstar overnight when Maine Pyaar Kiya released in 1989. I was a kid back then and I remember the craze he generated among youth. His Friend cap, black leather jacket, and Ray-Ban sunglasses became the trend.
Aishwarya's husband and sister-in-law shared their story about how they became his fans and ordered the famous Friend cap. Ash must've burned really bad when she heard that.
Most people were neural about him? When were you born? Salman was the biggest star in 90s. The Adidas shoes and red and white striped sweater he wore in Baaghi were in such demand that people ordered them from Dubai because there was a shortage in Mumbai due to fans buying them because they wanted to dress like Salman Khan.
Check out this video from 1991 where the crowd is crazy just to get near him. https://youtu.be/AFSvqq6YLPE
He got more applause than Shahrukh in KKHH even though Shahrukh was the lead. His hairstyle in Tere Naam was the rage in 2003-2004. Every school and college boy sported Radhe Mohan hairstyle. His fan base has been strong since 1989 and Salman is one star whose fans have increased never decreased.
