And the extent of dormant rivalry between these two iconic Khans is such that they never let any opportunity slip out of their hands where they can blow-off the repute of other. Although so far we have seen them doing so in one or the other indirect manner, but this time SRK has uttered something which is potent enough to provoke Mr Perfectionist.
If recent reports pertaining to this war of words between Aamir and SRK are to be believed then in a recent incident while performing along with his Happy New Year team at Vancouver for SLAM! The Tour, SRK has literally slammed Aamir by calling him a half actor (Aadha Hero).
The incident took place in wake of rapper Honey Singh's absence because of which organizers of the tour had to change the format of the concert. And in order to compensate for the Honey's absence entire cast was requested to sing any song on the stage for the viewers. To which Boman Irani, who is also part of Happy New Year, chose to sing "Give Me Some Sunshine" song from "3 Idiots" . As soon as the Boman finished the song Shahrukh asked him the name of the movie to which Boman replied with the name of Aamir's blockbuster's name.
And the next question which SRK posed to Boman marked the onset of sarcasm where former asked Boman about the name of the lead actor in the movie. While responding to this unexpected question of SRK Boman retorted with Aamir's name. And this is when King Khan unleashed the derogatory remark and stated that `Itne Bade Bade Stars Stage Pe Khade Hai, Yeh Aadhe Hero Ka Song Kyun Gaaya?` (There are so many renowned celebs on stage, why you chose to sing a song of a 'Half-Actor'?).
Well giving SRK a benefit of doubt let's assume that whatever SRK stated was purely on a funny note and he didn't want to hurt anyone's sentiments, but keeping in view the "Freudian Psychoanalysis" one can't deny the fact that every human's humor is primarily governed by his or her subconscious thoughts.
Of Late...
Well this is not for the first time that SRK has taken a dig at Aamir, even in the past while addressing a press conference he hurled some unsolicited remarks about Aamir and his "pk" poster. So now it will be interesting to see if Mr Perfectionist who is also known for his calmness maintains his cool this time or payback SRK his dues.
