&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "Shah Rukh Khan says he’s not an outsider, reveals who his ‘family’ is in Bollywood")
Bollywood fans were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime moment when Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan shared the same stage at the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The trio, often called the “Three Pillars of Bollywood,” came together to discuss their careers, the evolution of Hindi cinema, and their enduring friendship. But what stole the show was Shah Rukh Khan’s affectionate comment that instantly melted hearts.
Shah Rukh’s sweet words win the Internet
During a candid chat, Salman Khan praised Shah Rukh for making it big in Bollywood despite not hailing from a film family. “Aamir comes from a film background, and so do I, but this man here (Shah Rukh Khan) didn’t. He came from Delhi and made it on his own,” Salman said. Before he could finish, Shah Rukh charmingly interrupted, “May I interject, Salman? I also come from a film family. Salman’s family is my family, and Aamir’s family is my family. That’s why I’m a star.”
The audience erupted in applause as Aamir Khan, clearly amused, quipped, “Now you know why Shah Rukh is a star.” Fans flooded social media with clips of the moment, calling it “the reunion Bollywood didn’t know it needed.”
‘The Three Khans’ steal the spotlight in Riyadh
The Joy Forum 2025, hosted under the patronage of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, featured global personalities including Terry Crews, Shaquille O’Neal, and Lee Jung-Jae. Yet, it was the three Khans who stole the show. Their chemistry, humour, and mutual admiration left the audience nostalgic about the golden era of Hindi cinema.
