Aishwarya Rai and the rivalry between Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan

The rivalry between Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan is perhaps getting more dramatic than even Bollywood movies. Amitabh Bachchan is 64 and he has now another two top Bollywood brands under his umbrella- Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan). On the other hand, Shahrukh Khan is now the man in form in Bollywood. He is the most popular male actor among Indian movie fans.

The rivalry between Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan is about who is the bigger brand. So, at the end of the day it comes back to money and commercial endorsement. However, what is so interesting is that this rivalry is getting coverage in the foreign media too.

Times Online wrote:

The omission of Khan and his wife from the guest list for last month’s wedding of Abhishek Bachchan, also a romantic lead, and Aishwarya Rai, the former Miss World turned actress, was the talk of Bollywood’s tight-knit social circles.

Although the three-day celebration was deliberately restricted to fewer than a hundred people because of the ill health of the groom’s grandmother, the Bachchans made a point of inviting certain actors and snubbing others.

Analysts say that the event has split Bollywood between those on the side of the Khans and the acolytes of the Bachchans, one of the most powerful families in India by virtue of their box-office dominance and political connections.

 

Even, Times Online has covered this rivalry. Some people think that as Aishwarya Rai got married to Abhishek Bachchan, the Bachchans will have an edge in this rivalry. Well, may be they are right. However, Aishwarya Rai may not be a big factor in this rivalry as Aishwarya Rai has surely passed her prime in the movie industry.

What is your idea about it?

As far as I am concerned, Shahrukh is and will always be the best. I respect amitabh as an actor and am also one of his fans, but I was really disappointed to know that it was because of his rivalry with SRK, that SRK was not invited to the wedding(not that it makes any difference to SRK, as he I'm sure that he had better things to do anyway :)). amitabh was number one in his day, but now SRK is number one and the sooner Amitabh accepts this, the better. SRK is a good person who has a squeaky clean image unlike amitabh, enough said. I also heard that Rani was not invited to the wedding. Well abisheik, I thought that Rani was your friend.....how wrong was I dude. Also, why was the wedding such a secretive affair. Catch a wake u, you people are celebrities. It's quite obvious that people would want to see a bit of the weding, then again maybe not cause the people who were interviewed on NDTV seemed quite annoyed by all the noise that was coming from the bachan house during the wedding period.

i think sharaukh is the not only the best actor but a brilllant human being and i dont think there should be rivalary between two legends anyaways by not inviting srk to wedding ceremony big b has proved he is only big by name not by nature
we all feel taht SRK is a bigger star n does not need any attention of those who matters nothing to him

how can ash marry abhi?????????

I don't understand how can Amithi do that!!! He is a great actor and King Khan doesn't deserve it!!! Aish had to do something !!! She becomes big star with The King of bollywood Shah Rukh Khan!!! She must remind that

Sacramento

It's a great mistake!!! The King not being invited??!!!
Big B wasn't great this time!!! Aish as well!!!

I think shahrukh khan is overrated. He does the same movie over and over. He's jealousy controls him totally.
Amitabh probably didn't invite him just to make shah rukh khan cry.

Look it is really annoying to see two really good actors fight over nothing!
I mean come on!
Look what you are doing to yourselfs!
Amithi,u didn't envite srk just because of this foolish fight!I hope one of u get some brains and hearts in time 2 understand what they are doing!

Well at the end of the day they both will return back to the film industry and will have to toerate each other and make each other successful by doing films together. hmmm or maybe not. well amitabh certainaly has a few yeasr and so does Aish. But Abhishek would want to stay and Shahrukh will maintain his rivalry with him. A Khan always likes a challenge and always wins no matter what, I personally think Shahrukh Khan is a legend no matter what. He is the top man in the industry right now and most of the top and leading actors and film makers were not invited to the wedding including the Roshans, Kapoors, Khans and Shettys. Well Bachans I hate to say but you're going to have a tough time!!

^A khan always wins? lol lol Amitabh has beaten up so many Khans like Kader Khan, Amjad Khan, Hamid Khan and all the 3 khans today are just dwarfs compared to the Bachchans. Amitabh Bachchan is the all time Shahenshah, the Star of the Millenium remember that!

Amithji by this act deserves to get the ji removed !!! He showed his pettiness . It was open for all to see. By not being invited none of the stars lose their popularity, but Amitabh becomes cheap. Poor Jaya. She has always undergone so much heart ache and humiliation ! Who can forget silsila!!!I wonder whether she had any say in this matter!! I am sure she was not a willing party to this petty behaviour

The rivalry between Big B & S Khan is not any new event. At the time of wedding S Khan was not invited. Then the fans of S Khan were disappointed. I think that the ivitation to S Khan was quietly individual fact of Bachchan family. Moreover they didn’t invite their intimate relative. I think that it was a great mistake of Big B family. However, Big B is the most popular, famous & very genious actor in Bollywood forever. On the other hand S Khan is also most popular now days. S Khan is also a good actor in Bollywood film. The popularity of Bib B and also Bachchan family has increased after wedding Aishwarya with Abhishek. It seem to me it is very difficult to select that who is the great. Because both of them are great in their own characteristic position.

its a big mistake with this khans that she doesnt call them in her wedding but after some days they show her all proudish things that she done with this khans esspecially ,she shud not do with srk but see after some days god show her what she done with this khans n how is it possible abhi that abhi done a marry with aish ....

shah rukh khan will win people and the bachchans will lose. i hate them and i love sha rukh khan!

what's the problem when a foolish bachan haven't invited the King Khan. No problem to the Bollywood Badshah. because he doesn't want these cheap invite. amitabh,ash and abhi together can't reach even the foot of Shahrukh Khan. He is the best.
