In one question, the actor was asked who he likes the most among the Khan trio? So he replied, ‘Personally, if I talk about work, I like Aamir more. He does not believe in any gestures or mannerisms but Salman has all this in abundance, he is natural. He has a different level of charm and charisma. Shah Rukh is very stubborn. Look at him in Swades, what amazing acting he has done. No one can say that this is Shah Rukh Khan’.
