Arshad Warsi Reflects: Contrasting Experiences Working With Salman Khan's "Bad Boy" Persona and SRK's Gentlemanly Demeanor.

Arshad Warsi recently shared his insights on working with Bollywood's Khan superstars, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. In a recent interview, Warsi characterized Salman as a "bad boy" while describing SRK as a "gentleman".

Warsi, known for his roles in films like "Munna Bhai MBBS" and the "Golmaal" franchise, has worked with both Salman and Shah Rukh Khan. He first worked with Shah Rukh Khan in "Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaye" (2005) and is slated to appear with him in the upcoming film "King" (2026). Speaking about Shah Rukh Khan, Warsi stated that SRK knows his work and possesses an "old school theatre vibe" with all his lines memorized. He admires SRK's polite and giving nature, noting he has never seen him raise his voice. Warsi is also fond of SRK's children, Suhana and Aryan, and said that they have been brought up well. He is such a big fan of Shah Rukh Khan, that he immediately agreed to be in "King". According to Warsi, Shah Rukh has already declared himself as the "last of the stars," a statement Warsi believes.

Comparing Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, Warsi said that Salman is a quintessential good-looking bad boy, while Shah Rukh is a gentleman. Warsi added that Salman is different personally and is not the same as his public persona. He mentioned that Salman jokes a lot and has fun at home.

Arshad Warsi also spoke about his experience working with Amitabh Bachchan in the unreleased film "Zamaanat". He admires Bachchan's dedication to his craft and recalled a courtroom scene they shot in Hyderabad. Despite challenging conditions, with a large crowd and intense sunlight, Bachchan gave around 10-12 takes and even insisted on doing one more after reviewing the initial takes.

Warsi has also expressed his views on the changing nature of stardom in the age of social media. He believes true stardom belongs to actors like Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan, whose fame transcends social media validation. He considers the stardom of many new-generation actors to be "manufactured," and based on purchased social media followers rather than genuine talent. While he acknowledged the opportunities OTT platforms provide for actors and creative individuals, he suggested that the popularity of social media influencers is often fleeting, whereas true longevity stems from talent and hard work.
