Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has seen it all in Bollywood. With decades of experience, he’s shared screen space with countless stars, including the industry’s biggest names. Recently, he offered a candid peek into the very different ways two of those titans, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, approach their craft. It turns out their methods are as distinct as their on-screen personas.
Rawal didn’t hold back his admiration for both actors. He simply noted their paths to brilliance diverge. Speaking with Bollywood Bubble, Rawal explained what makes Salman Khan a unique force.
Salman Khan: The Effortless Enchanter
According to Rawal, Salman Khan possesses an incredible natural ease. He slips into characters without needing much time or fuss. “Salman understands any scene deeply,” Rawal shared. “He’s a very charming person.” On screen, Rawal described him as “magic.” He added, “When Salman comes to set, he doesn’t have to work hard. He just becomes one with the character.” It’s like watching a star glow, rather than trying to shine.
Aamir Khan: The Deep Thinker
Aamir Khan, on the other hand, follows a more measured process. Rawal pointed out that Aamir truly dives into his roles. He takes his time to understand them inside and out. “Aamir has to understand everything deeply,” Rawal noted. “That’s why Aamir sir takes a little time.” Rawal humorously contrasted this with Salman, calling Salman “a gust of wind.” He explained, “When he came, he swept you away, and you don’t even know what happened!” It perfectly captures the immediate impact of one versus the meticulous build-up of the other.
What’s Next for Paresh Rawal
Paresh Rawal himself remains as busy as ever. Fans can catch him soon in the film ‘Nikita Roy’, which stars Sonakshi Sinha and is set to release on July 18. And for those craving a dose of classic comedy, Rawal will return as the beloved Babu Rao in ‘Hera Pheri 3’. He’ll reunite with Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty under the direction of Priyadarshan, promising more laughter for audiences.
