Why Saif Ali Khan is not in the same league as other Khans?

Question and Answer section

Q. Why Saif Ali Khan is not in the league of other khans as he proves himself by playing different kind of roles with much ease? – Harsh.

A. Saif doesn’t have the same mass-appeal that the three top Khans command. None of his solo-films have opened well at smaller mass-dominated centres.

Even though he made his debut with Parampara in the same year (1992) as Shahrukh Khan, the turning point in his career came in 2004 when he delivered his first solo-hit. Not many are aware of this, but Saif was Aditya Chopra’s first choice to play the lead in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, a film that he rejected.

His personality and choice of films could be the other two reasons why he doesn’t quite have the same appeal as the three Khans.

Having said that, the Khan surname doesn’t guarantee success. Quite a few actors like Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan, Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan – just to name a few – have faded away quickly.

Saif has been in the industry for more than 2 decades now and has created a niche for himself. He is still one of the Top 10 stars in the industry – way ahead of Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and others.

  • SRK was really very lucky in his early career. To grab some good movie’s missed by other actors.

    Darr was missed by Aamir
    Baazigar by Salman
    DDLJ by Saif

    If Aamir, Salman, Saif would have done those 3 movie’s, they might not have got the same results which SRK got with those 3 movie’s. But some how indirectly Srk was granted. This is Destiny.

    Would u agree without Darr, Baazigar, DDLJ could SRK would have been the same star which he is now.

  • Saif is a nice actor and way ahead of john,abhishek,akshay,ajay and many more.see race,ta ra rum pum,khnh,hum tum to name a few if u wouldn’t agree

    a big salute to KING OF BOLLYWOOD-SRK from every aspect and respect for others as an actors 1st rather than BO/money earned star.

    last but not least each every superstar will come and many had gone,there thousands of such superstar could born but MEGASTAR like SRK will not again born that bollywood will ever get.but no one could be like THIS MEGASTAR KING SRK who Globalised bollywood and whose name only taken along with hollywood actors whether in terms of popularity/earning even though came from a middle class family.however his own country’s some foolish people couldn’t understood his importance and compared their south copy stars with THIS LEGEND and his LEGEND films like DON2,JTHJ with cheapest south remakes.that’s why it is Incredible India and those who blamed this LEGEND are ISO certified morons.

  • @BabajikaThullu don’t about box office but in your dream only jhon,emran,saif,ranveer and ajay has more fans than Shahid only but not in real world even in small area Shahid has more fan fallowing than ranbir first do some reaserch before speaking.i bet if any young actor would go through the bad phase that Shahid went through with all the negativity i doubt they will be even top15 in term of fan fallowing,i am talking only about fan fallowing not popularity and boxoffice.

  • What a joke indicine,sahid 10th biggest star of bollywood right now.what has he done in his 11 year Bollywood carrer????deliver 4 hits and 1 superhit out of 30 releases while arjun kapoor,varun,ranveer ,Siddharth,sushanth all have given all have success rate above 60% and has already starred in two big hits.even john has a better success rate than him.
