Salim Khan feels son Salman Khan’s stardom is nothing compared to Rajesh Khanna
Recently, Naseeruddin Shah’s comment on the late Rajesh Khanna caused a huge furore, despite daughter Twinkle Khanna requesting everyone to stop arguing over.
She tweeted saying, “This has gone far enough, can everyone please stop, we have all stated our opinions now can everyone go play Pokemon!.”
But now Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan has come out and voiced his opinion on the matter.
He tweeted, “An actor passed my house and saw a big crowd waiting for Salman he called me up to say he has not seen anything like this before. I told him I have seen bigger crowds many times outside Rajesh Khannas house. He was the first and the last superstar of the millennium.
“Anyone calling him a mediocre actor should know that no one can reach these heights unless he has something extraordinary to offer. Frustration and bitterness are difficult to cure but carrying the same for such a long time is unheard of.”
