Kajol says Shah Rukh and Aamir are professionals, but no one matches Salman's star power
Speaking about Shah Rukh and Aamir, Kajol said, 'They deserve all the trophies when it comes to dedication.' She described both as 'extremely professional' and intensely serious about their craft. But when the subject turned to Salman, she 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.'
Quoting Aamir, she added, '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.'
Even when informed that Akshay Kumar had equaled Salman's record with 18 ₹100 crore hits, Kajol was quick to underline the difference. '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.'
Kajol and Salman have shared the screen in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, and Karan Arjun, that helped define the '90s. Their chemistry in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya remains a fan favourite.
Kajol will next be seen in Maa, a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia, releasing 27 June. Salman recently appeared in Sikandar and has more releases lined up, including a film with Sanjay Dutt and Kick 2.

In this patriotic drama, the actor will step into the role of a soldier, with the story rooted in the real-life events of June 2020, when Indian and Chinese forces clashed in the high-altitude Galwan Valley of Ladakh. Chitrangda Singh has been cast as the female lead opposite Salman, adding to the anticipation around the film. As for Salman Khan's cryptic post, it arrives amid reports that the superstar is exploring multiple new projects—some of which are said to be experimental and outside his typical action-packed zone. While there's been no official confirmation, his mysterious message has only heightened curiosity. Up next, Salman will be seen returning as the host of Bigg Boss 19.
