Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan have significantly influenced Bollywood for over forty years.
During a conversation with Komal Nahta, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap expressed his opinion on who is the most popular of the three Khans. He unequivocally identified Shah Rukh as the standout figure among the trio, with Salman following closely and Aamir in third place.

Popularity Contest: Which Khan Reigns Supreme?
Anurag stated, “Lokpriya toh Shah Rukh hi he, Salman he phir Aamir he. Sabse mehnati aur shrewd Aamir he” (Shah Rukh is the most popular, followed by Salman, then Aamir. Aamir is the hardest worker and quite shrewd). He notes Aamir’s production skills as noteworthy.
Although Anurag hasn’t worked with the three Khans, his brother Abhinav Kashyap directed Salman in the hit film “Dabangg.” However, their collaboration ended tumultuously.
