Aamir Khan has finally spoken about the bias that fans have towards the Khans of Bollywood. While he agrees that he, Salman and Shah Rukh Khan have given some of the biggest hits, the Ghajini actor also notes how they are not the only actors from the 80s and 90s to do so. He was quick to add that other stars such as Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and even Hrithik Roshan have walked the path with them just as much and deserve equal praise.
Aamir Khan feels bad about bias towards Khans
"Mujhe bura lagta hai ki humare saath saath Ajay Devgn bhi itne hi saal chale hai, Akshay Kumar bhi itne hi saal chale hai, Hrithik bhi itne hi saal chale hai," the actor said during a recent podcast. Aamir noted how all the actors gave hits over the years but are not mentioned as often as the Khans.

Aamir Khan on competition and jealousy among his peers
At the same time, the actor spoke about competition and jealousy, particularly among the Khans. The actor said that he as a person cannot thrive on negativity and thus, he rather seeks inspiration from the kind of job other actors do.
Aamir Khan's views on Shah Rukh Khan's DDLJ still running successfully in theatres
When asked about SRK's movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) still running in theatres successfully, the actor said that he enjoys watching the film just as much as the next person in the room. He was, however, quick to note that it did not push him to do a romantic film just out of peer pressure. "Main usse thodu compete kar raha hoon?," the actor said, adding that his competition has always been with his own self.
Aamir Khan is all set to make his Bollywood comeback with Sitaare Zameen Par. The actor has confirmed that his movie would be a theatrical release and would be out on June 20 for theatre-going audiences.
