Bollywood star Kajol is among the few actors who have worked with all three Khans—Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir. In a recent interview with Galatta India, she reflected on the distinct qualities of each of them and spoke about Salman Khan's unmatched star power.

Kajol heaped praise on Shah Rukh and Aamir's professionalism, stating that both of them deserved all the trophies when it comes to dedication, as they are very, very serious about their craft and discipline. However, while talking about their work. Kajol said, "Salman is Salman Khan. You can't argue with that. He's remained the same over the years, and that in itself is incredible. Even Aamir once said, 'Salman is definitely a bigger star than me, because no matter how his film performs, it still manages to cross ₹100 crore. And his fans adore him like crazy.''
When informed that Akshay Kumar has matched Salman in terms of box office with 18 films crossing the ₹100 crore mark, Kajol said, "Wow, that's amazing! But when we talk about sheer star power, I think even Akshay would agree—you just can't touch Salman's star power."
Salman and Kajol have appeared together in films such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, and Karan Arjun. Their chemistry in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya especially impressed the audience.
Kajol is all set to star in Vishal Furia's mythological horror film titled Maa. The film also features Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. Produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, it is scheduled to release in cinemas on 27 June. Salman, on the other hand, was last seen in Sikandar and will next be seen in an action film with Sanjay Dutt. He also has Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick 2 in the pipeline.

Salman Khan's Bodyguard Shera Plays 'Bhai' In New Ad, Makes Acting Debut

Last Updated: Salman Khan's bodyguard Shera debuts in a Raksha Bandhan ad for Instamart, playing a caring brother. After years of guarding Bollywood's Bhai, Salman Khan's trusted bodyguard Shera has now channeled his inner Bhai on screen. While fans might remember his blink-and-miss cameo in Salman's 2011 film Bodyguard, Shera has now officially made his acting debut. In a brand-new Raksha Bandhan ad for a grocery delivery app, Shera swaps security duty for screen time. In Instamart's new Raksha Bandhan ad, Shera takes on the role of a caring brother for women who need help. Whether it's finding a rickshaw in the rain or stopping a classmate from crossing the line, Shera steps in like a true 'bhai'. The ad sends a sweet message that Shera is everyone's brother and reminds viewers to do something nice for their own brothers by sending them a rakhi. The ad was released on Friday, just in time for Raksha Bandhan. Some people joked that Shera looked a bit like Yuvraj Singh or Mika in the ad, while others had a laugh at the clever wordplay on 'bhai", a nod not just to brothers, but also to Salman Khan, who's famously known as Bhai and happens to be Shera's real-life boss. Shera, whose real name is Gurmeet Singh Jolly, has been by Salman Khan's side as his personal bodyguard and head of security since 1995. He also runs his own company, Tiger Security, which has handled protection for many big celebrities over the years. He took charge of Justin Bieber's security during the pop star's Mumbai concert in 2017. Before stepping into the world of security, Shera was a champion bodybuilder. He grabbed the Mumbai junior title in 1987 and was the runner-up in the Mr Maharashtra Junior contest in 1988. By the early '90s, he had transitioned into the security business and not long after, became Salman Khan's right-hand man. As for Salman, his most recent film Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss and co-starring Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sathyaraj, didn't quite hit the mark. Despite the star power, the film struggled at the box office, earning Rs 176 crore against its Rs 200-crore budget. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
