The news is few days old but as per the reports SRK beats Hollywood’s Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Jack Nicholson & Adam Sandler in Hollywood-Bollywood rich list.

Shah Rukh Khan is the lone Indian celebrity to make it to a list of the top ten wealthiest Hollywood and Bollywood personalities by beating stars like Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp.

But he acted so damn good.

So we cant blame him for ce

In the year 2009, a business magazine measured SRK's net asset value as 1500 crore today after 5 years he has just doubled that amount.

Businessman, actor whatever you want to name him...he's doing just good.

You kidding? He is the best actor I've ever seen, be it in this planet or elsewhere.

you don't see a lot of movies , do you ??
Anyways , why are people going so crazy over celebrities......... does it really matter ??

PS , I like SK's acting in few movies like KHNH , etc ....but it sucks badly in many other movies. His recent movies are pathetic .

I think salman & aamir khan are just jealous of him.Thats why they cannot tolerate him.

No. I've seen 10 or 12 movies in past ten years. But I loved SRK in all movies, especially Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Raab Ne Bana Di Jori etc. His performance was legendary in those movies, and I'm sure that no one in the world has the caliber to play a better role than him.

To be very honest with you , I have seen almost all the average and above average movies ( hollywood ) released b/w 2010-2014. (" Yes , I have had plenty of free time , and a Extremely blazing fast Internet Plan , with a daily target of watching at least a unique movie a day." )
Exhausted the list with the top movies on IMDB , for past few decades . And If there's one thing I can say regarding SRK , ( I won't even rate him in top 100 actors , I may have seen. In few movies his acting was good , but with the recent ones , I have simply stopped watching. Specially with the kind of movies that are being produced these days , not just with SRK but with majority of TOP Actors.Most of them lack a good story.")

Well in that case you don't know what great acting is. SRK deserves to be in top 5 best actors list of the world, if not the best.

From the top of my head i can think of Clint Eastwood, Marlon Brando , Al Pacino, Tom Hanks, Freeman , even Leo who imo are better than srk...

That's ok if you don't watch a lot of movies you will definitely find SRK to be the best especially if you haven't seen the BIG Hollywood .. SRK is awesome as well when it comes to bollywood . some great performances chak de , Kal ho na ho , even rab ne bana di and some of his classics like kuch kuch hota hai , kabhi khushi khushi gham

Amir and SRK are i think the best of bollywood , amitabh also in some of the movies
definitely he is ultra successful and i really like his personality as a person though which comes out as being perceived as arrogance by many

But to say he is the best of all without having seeing performances of other actors is just Ridiculous . Apart from the hollywood legends there are atleast 100 actors on better than SRK . even in most hollywood tv shows you will find some great acting that trumps srk best performances..

both hollywood and bollywood are very different flavours, the comparison will never be a good comparison..

i have been a hollywood buff all these past 6 years must have watched at least a 1000-1500 of movies by now at one point i was like minimum 2 movies a day that went on for a year or so, so i know what i am speaking and not making it up :D

i would recommend you to start watching hollywood movies in english and not in hindi as most bollywood movie watchers are used to dubbing.. and then they never get to hear or see the acting part of the movie all they watch is CGI and action :lol:
( not you please don't don't take it in a wrong way, i am generalizing the truth here )

al pacino is out of this world man . he can simply read a piece of text written on a soapbox and even that will sound as if he has delivered a masterpiece of performance

Leo has to be the unluckiest star of all time.. still no oscar after movies like blood diamond,catch me,aviator , shutter island , departed, inception is just sad

Can't argue with a person who haven't had enough experience of watching movies. It clearly implies , you are either a fanboy or are conveying words heard from someone else.

Doesn't matter if he is the best or not. Whenever his movie releases your girl friend will plead you to go to the movie and in the result in the hall. If you want him to loose this position make girls hate him. This man got a whooping 2500 crores valuation.

Well said. Guys are just jealous because of his popularity. He has so many female crazy fans! Salman too have many fans but most of them are boys (gym freaks) so he is jealous because he thinks they make him look like gay.

These speak of nothing but ignorance. I don't what kind of image you have of Hollywood and its actors in your mind.
They are nothing but actors and every single piece of them does commercials. If your only problem is with the product "Fair and Handsome" then that is a different issue.

Then the question arises, if you hate "Shahrukh doing ad for Fare and Handsome" or you hate "Shahrukh" for doing Fare and Handsome ad?
