Note: We haven’t included two prolific actors – Sunny Deol and Govinda – in the list. Deol was a superstar, even though he wasn’t very consistent at the box office. He had quite a few hugely successful films like Border, Darr, Zindi and Ghatak, just to name a few. Govinda delivered several hits with David Dhawan and was one of the most popular and successful actors of the 90s. We are currently in the process of retrieving data from old film magazines. We are also working with a well-known trade analyst to rectify the 90s data, which isn’t as accurate as we’d want it to be at the moment.
Clearly , Salman is no.1 … Now Salman leads (89-91) (94-99) & (10-16*) i.e. 16 years he has been on top ( delivering most. hits/blockbusters/superhits/better success ratio than any actor ) purely on the basis of stats all these years are his n only his…
Then why sites like @indicine boxofficeindia kept showing srk as no.1 in 90s … and aamir as no.2 (who is even behind ajay in terms of success) Ridiculous isn’t this disrespectful to Salman who is real no.1 ?? Please clarify why u guys did this

No doubt SALMAN was, superstar of 90’s but after 2000s he has been in controversies like blackbuck poaching case,Hit&Run and many fights which affected his image a little bit 2004-2008 he gave many flops but he is back now & he isn’t richer than Srk and he does more charity than him he is known as Man With Golden Heart
