  • Fathiya: i will agree with u on the point that HR deserves to be the next king of bollywood, but there are ppl who hate SRK b’cuz they love HR, even i know some of them.

    and for Shahid, i agree he was boyish when he came first, but eventually he improved his acting alot. i mean, just watch him in Ishq Vishk and then in Jab we met, he has imroved alot!!

  • Princess: I saw the 2 movies.. Ishq Vishek & Jab We Met.. yeah.. he really improved, but in Kismat Konnection, he was copying Shahrukh in many scenes, and many ppl criticized him for that, but I liked his acting in the last scene of the movie.

    About Shahrukh.. becausde he’s smart and knows how to select his movies, his scripts, his directors, and he rules everyone’s heart (and that’s a gift from God) so he always wins..Did he came on any show and asked the ppl the following: Hey.. vote for me to be always the king of bollywood.. I’m the king of bollywood and no one is as good as me!! he didn’t do that.. he didn’t pay money to everyone to vote for him.. people consider him the king because he’s the best, and the world consider him the top actor for many reasons.. and as I said.. these haters are just jealous.. Hrithik deserves to be the next king, and if Shahrukh one day quit bollywood, then it’s Hrithik’s chance and no one else.

    And please people.. never say it’s Akshay who has to be the next king.. yeah.. he can be the king of comedy only.

  • Why r so many people including some Bollywood actors extremely jealous of SRK??!!!!?????!!!!Just because of he is the most popular Bollywood actor in the world and has been ruling Bollywood for nearly 17 years????????????I would like to tell them that whatever u say or do about SRK,its useless.Becoz he was, he is and he will remain the king of Bollywood 4ever.So keep ur mouth shut…..
