Veteran actor Johnny Lever has long been connected to the Indian cinema business. He has experienced both highs and lows in the world of Bollywood, witnessing the rise to fame of stars such as Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Shah Rukh Khan. During a recent discussion, the actor mentioned what he noticed about the successful movie stars.

In an interview with a YouTube channel, Johnny Lever discussed his early years, his road to stardom, and his relationships with his co-stars. In this candid conversation, the comedian talked candidly about his collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan. The Baazigar actor revealed, “Both of us have worked in Baazigar before that he came in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. But at that time, he wasn’t that famous. More people used to know me than him during the shooting. I was a star at that time and SRK was upcoming,” he shared.

The Dilwale actor continued by saying that he has never seen someone as diligent as Shah Rukh. “Both he and Akshay Kumar are hardworking but there’s a difference. SRK was weak in fight, he was weak in dancing. Salman Khan and SRK, we are doing Karan Arjun. In that, Salman was doing a perfect take, there would be retakes because of him. Salman would mock SRK. That man has worked and made himself a star. He is now a pro in dance, he can fight too now.”

One of the first comedians in India, Johnny, mentioned that Salman Khan has a moody side. “He is free and doesn’t take much tension. He is a great character, busy in his own world. (mimics him).” According to him, Shah Rukh is serious about his work and would get into details of his character. However, Salman would stay carefree. “So, it’s about the nature. Over time, whatever SRK did, people started liking it. People liked his attention to detail. Women would die for him while men would jealous of the star. But he would be focused on his work,” the Baadshah actor remembered.
