The
three
Khans
of
Bollywood
may
be
big
players
when
it
comes
to
box
office
collections.
But,
King
Khan
believes
that
none
of
the
actors
can
compete
with
a
Salman
Khan
movie
when
it
comes
to
shattering
box
office
records.
In
an
interview
with
Femina,
the
superstar
spoke
about
competing
with
a
Salman
Khan
film
and
pay
disparity
between
male
and
female
actors.
Here's
what
he
said-
'I
Can't
Compete
With
Salman
Khan
At
The
Box
Office'
Shahrukh
Khan
was
quoted
saying,
"I
can't
compete
with
Salman
Khan
at
the
box
office;
none
of
us
can.
That
is
the
reality." Interestingly,
SRK's
upcoming
film
Raees
was
earlier
slated
to
release
with
Salman
Khan's
Sultan
last
year.
'Today,
Deepika
Padukone,
Katrina
Kaif
And
Priyanka
Chopra
Take
Home
Really
Good
Pay
Packets,
More
Than
Some
Heroes'
In
the
same
interview,
he
had
spoke
about
pay
disparity
in
Bollywood.
SRK
added,
"Today,
Deepika
Padukone,
Katrina
Kaif
and
Priyanka
Chopra
take
home
really
good
pay
packets,
more
than
some
heroes.
And
they
deserve
it.
I
don't
know
if
they
take
more
than
me
or
Salman
but
they're
celebrated
for
their
worth.
In
other
fields
like,
say,
with
a
male
or
a
female
pilot,
both
are
paid
equally
for
what
they
bring
to
the
table.
But
market
forces
dictate
our
payment
in
the
film
industry
because
they
define
the
result
at
the
turnstiles.
When
we
ask
for
equal
pay,
a
lot
of
pressure
is
put
on
women
actors
to
sell
the
movie
on
their
own
steam."
Going
back
to
SRK-Salman's
friendship,
the
two
superstars
seem
to
be
bonding
big
time
these
days.
From
cycling
together
to
promoting
each
other's
films
on
Twitter,
the
duo
never
fail
to
break
the
internet
with
their
warm
camaraderie!
In
fact,
SRK
will
be
promoting
his
upcoming
movie
Raees
on
Bigg
Boss
too.
Bollywood's
'Karan-Arjun'
have
finally
returned
back!
