Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has said he is not in competition with anyone in the industry, although the “great work” of his fellow actors does inspire him. The 51-year-old actor said, “I’m only competing with myself. I don’t compete with Shah Rukh (Khan), Salman (Khan), Akshay (Kumar) or anyone. However, when my colleagues do great work, it always inspires me.”
Aamir Khan was addressing the media after Dangal‘s tremendous success, reported the Hindustan Times.
When asked about his favorite films that feature other actors, Aamir mentioned a few Shahrukh Khan movies.“I really liked many of Shah Rukh’s films, especially Chak De! India, Swades, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge),” he said.
He also said he was overwhelmed by Dangal‘s success. The film has crossed the Rs. 350 crore mark at the box-office. He said, “I am amazed by the reaction that Dangal has received. People have loved the film so much. It is very rare to get such kind of a reaction.”
