Fri Dec 15 17:01:04 2000
Name:MOHAMMED FAROOQ
Email:farooq_rcr@rediffmail.com
Nomination:SHAHRUKH KHAN
Reason:Not because he is popular/Dashing/ideal for acting learners/won many filmfare awards/became producer/good singer/and many more,
BUT
For the things he has tolerated to reach this place,the popular saying "ZERO TO HERO" perfectly suits for him,One should know histry about him ,that from where this guy (who lossed his parents early)and still managed to get this esteemed position in the Industry,i. e "A REAL SUPER STAR".
Nowadays people are comparing him with Hrithik,though hrithik is a superb Dancer/actor ,but one should not compare,since the atmosphere where hrithik has grown up and Shahrukh has grown up are much different,and hrithik's father is a well known director,uncle is a popular musician,and i believe hrithik has not suffered lack of money in his life.
If still some body wants to compare both these Bollywood greats, then i advise them to compare the circumstances where both have grown,compare their fathers,compare their financial conditions from birth.
So even if hrithik attained the status what Shahrukh has today then also Shahrukh is 100 times better than any one.
Note:Amitabh bachchan is also an All time great actor and had wonderful "never giving"
attitude and he can be compared with Shahrukh khan.
