Provoking Aamir <1>

This is to see how Aamir Khan's remarks caused SRK's anger.

*Background Knowledge:
・SRK actually doesn't like romantic films.
・He prefers to be recognized in other genre such as action, comedy or social issues
・He recognizes that he became the King of Bollywood because of the romantic films.
・He understands audiences' preference because he'd love to see Sean Connery as 007 knowing he is great actor and capable for any roles.
・He has fear of failing in other genre. Like his challenging films such as Asoka, Phil Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, One 2 ka 4 didn't do well at the box office and they were financially saved by the success of romantic Chalte Chalte.
・In fact, he does star in varieties of films other than romantic films. Especially when Aamir commented like following, he had succeeded in the series of completely different types of films such as Chak Ｄe, OSO, Don.

I think Shah Rukh works in his style. He likes to do romantic films. ...He likes to do a certain kind of cinema which he does very well. And he stays within the limit of that so he does mostly romantic films.

And he likes to work with certain kind of people. And he is very good at that. I think he keeps audience very happy in that way.

I have totally different way of working. I don't play safe at all. I'm happy to take risks. I go with my instinct. > In fact I feel that cinema is something that story telling. Each time I would like to tell different story. I don't want to tell same story again and again. I want to tell different story each time. It's challenging for me. It's exciting for the audience.

Neither of us is right or wrong. I mean each one has their own way of working, and priorities. Both of us are successful. So I think there is no issue.

In summary, the following were what touched SRK's nerve I assume:

・Aamir's prejudice of SRK liking romantic films.
・Aamir's prejudice of SRK's mannerism.
・Aamir's self-applause of taking risks and succeeding everytime (as the contrast to above).
