There are two big superstars in bollywood. Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan. Two people who came into limelight at around the same time. And who waltzed their way to superstardom like no other. People generally like one much better than the other. And depending on the person, you can make a fair estimate who it is going to be. Aamir Khan is most certainly the better actor. And his pursuit is meaningful cimena. People who like him better vote for substance over style. Shahrukh Khan on the other hand is a bigger star. And his pursuit is better entertainment. People who like him vote for charisma. Both have succeeded in their pursuits in reel life. But what about in real life ? Ten years before i would have bet that Aamir would have a nice stable marriage. Shahrukh was the obvious philanderer. But i was never more wrong. As it turned out, Shahrukh is the one leading a nice settled life and Aamir is still searching for answers. He has handled it very gracefully indeed, but that doesn't change the basic fact.
So where did my intution go wrong ? I empathize with Aamir. Porbably, thats why i gave him better chances. Today, i can glimpse at what could have gone wrong. The problem is with the uncompromising attitude. In your work and profession it will yield rich benefits. Should it be carried over to your personal life ? I believed that the answer was yes. But perhaps, it is time to take a lesson from a failed master.
