Who said only Khans should rule Bollywood? Have Bachchan, Khanna, Dutt, Kumar, Deol, Kapoor, Anand, Roshan etc never ruled Bollywood?
I mentioned Akshay and Ajay also in that ad with SRK and I appreciated the lawsuit all production houses filed against news channels.
I would love to see all icons together be it Akki, Ajay, Khans, Deols, Roshans. I was personally delighted to see Khans and Deols at YPD 2 promotions and celebration of Dharam's 50 years in Indian cinema and it was nice to see arch rivals like Sunny and Khans dance together to Dharam's songs.
We talked about Khans because a politically motivated lobby always rants against them and targets them through false propaganda, false cases, fake news.
And we like to see them unite because they have never been united and have been mostly arch rivals, pulling each other's leg for most of last 3 decades and some of them have had public spats. As fans it is nice to see them unite or cooperate for a change and offer olive branch.
Lastly most of us here have grown up with 90s stars so there is element of nostalgia around Khans and a certain attachment to them and what they represent. So why will we not want them to rule or shatter records or hopefully have a career as long as Rajinikanth and Amitabh have had?
You never ask why Rajini and Amitabh still work or have fans. Why you bother if Khans work or their audience wants them to rule and succeed for as long as possible?
Some stars are not just actors but icons. They become part of culture. Same for other artistes like say, Lata, Asha, Kishore, Rafi etc., and their fans cut across generations. Khans, Bachchan types are icons, part of culture. They have long transcended the 'actor' stage.
