Is SRK tarnishing his image while Salman is adorning his?

I love both Salman and SRK and I look forward to their movies more than any other actor's. I love Aamir as well, however for the sake of this post, I'm keeping him out of this. We all know the bitterness between these two stars and that they are constantly pitted against each other.

For a while now, SRK has been all over the place due to his upcoming film Ra.One. I mean, the man is literally everywhere! But, his character is questioned, especially his fidelity. I for one, would not like to believe that he is cheating on Gauri; but the media and some of my fellow Pinkvillans think otherwise.

Then we have Salman Khan who is the current box-office king. He has one of the biggest fan following in India. He hasn't been in trouble with the law for a while now (thank GOD!). To top it off, he's involved in charity through his organization, Being Human. And he's making plenty of films with a variety of directors who swear by his name. In other words, Salman equals guaranteed $$$ for producers and distributors.

My questions are: Why can't both be at the top at the same time? And more importantly, do you guys think SRK is really tarnishing his image, while Salman works to clean up his?

*NOTE* Please try not to bring in other actors/actresses' names. Stick to the topic!

Yes, SRK is tarnishing his image with the link up which apparently is true. I got the inside scoop so it seem to be true he is with PC. His lovely wife cannot do anything about it because no one can really question SRK.
Salman on the other hand seems to be very focused and his public image has certainly improved.
Just have to say, I am a Salman Khan fan from day one so regardless if his image is good or bad i am a die hard fan. My last sentence has nothing to do with the topic but i could not help adding it :)

Why should the MEDIA stop? They are doing their job by keeping the public up to date with the doings of people who are of intense public interest. The people who should STOP are the principals in this little farce. PC, but she can't be expected to really since she's much younger and has been star struck with SRK for years, so that leaves it up to the ADULT, the MATURE MARRIED MAN to take responsibiltiy. He's Priyanka's senior in both life and in the industry as well as in his life experience. HE is the one who needs to put a stop to this. HE is the one everyone is fascinated by and watching. By this time in his career he surely knows that whomever he is seen with and wherever he goes he will incite fascination, curiosity and comment.
His name sells in all forms of media, so it's up to him.

i think the Priyanka SRK rumours which are being spread for movie promotion are the main cause

I agree with your pov. No actor would deliberately undo all his hard work and tarnish his own image. But Srk is not doing anything to Stop it either other than state he has no friends and they are all friends in a group. But what discredits his claim is he is NOT seen in the company of his other friends in public as much as he hangs out with a PC. She comes across as his mega ego rub all giddy and bubbly thus it creates rumors for a man with a million plus such fans swooning over him to be so taken in by such tactics from a costar...understandable for a failure of an actor to latch on to that one solitary fan like no tomorrow to keep happy. But the friendship has spilled over his work and stained it, to question and ridicule his credibility and integrity towards it. Can't blame the media for assuming she is not a Platonic friend like the other boys and girls. And it is sad they are not buying the just friends anymore rather implying he is buying a friendship with PC. If he hadn't gone out of his way to make her a part of his Dream Project where the other candidates are AB and a Rajnikanth and not the entire OSO cameos, no one would associate a Srk-pc rumor during a Raone release and he wouldn't be dealing with the bad press at this time when he needs total support from all quarters. I am upset at the rumors. I believe Raone deserves BETTER for it is a path breaking movie a first of its kind that should not be tainted with petty rumors. I wish it the very best and more. I believe it is very UNFAIR to tarnish Srk's hard earned image and reputation over an ambitious actress. Media needs to stop.

i am a srk fan. however i must say being a rational person i would agree that salman has DEFINITLY increased his fan list while srk has DISAPPOINTED a lot of fans by his latest choice of roles.... :(
i just hope that SRK realises it soon and does some EXCELLENT WORRK soon.
And seeing SALMAN these days is sure a TREAT.....

ANYONE WHO DOES GOOD WORK SHOULD BE GIVEN THE CREDIT......

WE'LL SOON SEE SRK EXCELLENCE.... :D

ALTHOUGH I DON'T LIKE SRK I HAVE TO ADD THAT UNLIKE MANY ACTORS IN BOLLYWOOD SRK AND SALMAN HAVE ACTUALLY GIVEN ALOT OF PEOPLE IN THE BTOWN INDUSTRY CHANCES TO ACT, SING, DIRECT, PRODUCE!!!

Green, calm down....if u post stuff here u will get a lot of backlash from everyone...it's the trend in this website...i think srk is not really tarnishing his image.....it think the rumors continue to make rounds becoz of pc.....the way she gushes about srk.....i mean the kwk episode where she was blushing by the mere mention of his name was kinda weird........to top it off srk and pc were getting wayyyy too close in that dance show...pc w/ her high cut dress and srk whispering in her ear while she continues to giggle........srk is not cheating on his wife becoz he loves her to death.....but if he knows about these rumors, why would he continue to flirt w/ pc...........i think he should stop for the sake of his reputation...he's already getting bad report from media...rajeev masand even wrote something about it.......though i tend not to believe him...but other ppl do....salman is just being safe in my opinion....after wanted he knows what works for him and he uses it to his advantage that's all

I never liked SRK and never will. He is the most manipulated person. He is not a true Pathan, Pathans are not like him.

I like reading the differing views here. Keep the comments coming. But this is supposed to be DISCUSSION, not bashing one another.

For the people who are still confused about the purpose of this "article", please read my previous comments. And if you still need me to spoon-feed you, here I go: the title of the discussion topic is clearly stated as "IS SRK TARNISHING HIS IMAGE WHILE SALMAN IS ADORNING HIS?" Hint 1: There is a question mark next to the question, therefore, I am ASKING you all DO YOU THINK so about such and such. As a result of this question asked by me to you, you can discuss whether you THINK that SRK is tarnishing his image, and if Salman is cleaning his up. Simple! If I was voicing my judgments, this wouldn't be a discussion forum. And this is not journalism; it's not a newspaper; it's not a magazine; it's not even a PR strategy...this is a PUBLIC FORUM.

If you need me to post even more comments on my own post...please, just ask me AGAIN why this "article" was written.

I am neither fan of SRK nor Salman Khan and on their personal lives I dont care how they go about it as they are also human like all of us. But as an actor I would rather watch Salman any day than SRK. My problem is I expect to see changes in roles and performance, SRK is always the same I mean srk is not versatile at all but I understand that actors that dont take risk makes it bigger than those with variaties of roles plus those actors that are media friendly in bollywood

Umm.. I've only been on this site for a few months and you know that I was never an SRK fan? Wow..
I'm not really a Salman Khan fan, to be honest. I just like that he is doing well.. I tend to feel happy for people when they are in a good place in their life (even when I don't adore them or anything). I don't really like him a lot offscreen (the whole Aish thing, drunken rowdiness, running over people, hunting rare animals, etc). As for onscreen, there are very few Salman Khan movies that I actually like. After I watched Bodyguard, I regretted those past two hours of my life. LOL.
As for SRK I actually use to be a HUGE fan but in the past two years I've slowly lost interest in him. It's a combination of not really seeing any releases from him but then all of the sudden when he is finally back in the public eye again- it's a bit too much. It's kind of like when you really like a song but when they start playing it on the radio non-stop you get tired of it and don't like it as much anymore. :P Also, his recent overexposure is more for the "affair" rumor rather than Ra.One which is annoying for me to listen and read about.

Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan both are doing fine & justice to their job. Proud of both Khans

Salman is not a self-made guy only. His father was one half of the famous movie script writers - Salim-Javed. Many of the movies that they wrote became super-duper hits. One of them was Sholay. They might have charged even more than the main lead per movie in their peak.

Green...with due respect, i think you shouldnt have written this post especially when u dont seem to have a solid reason for rebuking SRK!!
First of all, SRK is not cheating on Gauri, and if you want to believe what the media says and what pinkvillans "notice" in his behaviour then the purpose is lost.
Salman does charity work...so what??? Just because he blows his own trumpet to sow what a "good man" he is doesnt mean others dont do charity. SRK for one, has been associated with a lot of charity work....be it lighting up villages, running slums in dharavi, adopting kashmiri refugee kids, establishing a cancer ward in a reputed hospital in Mumbai. The difference is, (and i would like to name the Bachchans and Kapoors here as well) , salman literally hammers it in ur head that he DOES charity, while the others DO it in a quite manner. Its for self satisfaction and not for publicity.
and about BO position...thats just such a temporary thing. today salman is on top, after being in the industry for over a decade (SRK held the top position for the maximum period in his career), tomorrow someone else will be.
SRK is a self made man, extremely dedicated and hard working. And the place he has carved for himself in the industry cannot be taken away by anyone EVER!!

That is coz u r a Salman Khan fan and has never been a SRK fan. So please don't come here to give us crap of how your views of have changed. Accept things for what they are, don't lie to yourself!

we should all judge an actor based on his work..lets wait for the release of 'RA.ONE' then we will see..I was skeptical about 'Enthiran' too, but when I saw it that was something else...As far as Salman goes, he's remaking hit films from the South so there's nothing original there..except for Dabangg..

SALMAN KHAN IS SELF-MADE MAN WHO MADE HIS FAMILY RICH JUST BY GIVING THEM BLOCKBUSTERS IN VARIOUS MOVIES. HE IS HANDSOME, WITH HEART OF GOLD, AND A GREAT HUMANITARIAN."

Guess his strategy of cleaning his image in the public's eye by doing charity to promote himself has worked on you.

All News fabricated,Comments controversial
News of his relations with women Which ends after the film's release
Was his way of success all these years People did not pay attention, but not anymore
Salman did not resort to all this his only problem was women But this change
Proof Katrina Even after separation Treat her like friend does not want all the drama
That took place with the Ash, or other women
Has changed a lot and I think he deserves all the success

No SRK is not tarnishing his image! Are you in your senses? It took him 20 years to build a place for himself in this industry and mind you he is a self made man!

Unlike Salman Khan who is a spoil brat star child and everything was given to him on a silver platter, still he went wild, beat up women, took drugs, drunk drove his car over poor people! Cleaning his act my foot! Being Human is just a self promotion and publicity stunt!

The people who are tarnishing SRK's reputation are every day Janes and Joes with no life and an inherent dislike for SRK, every green yellow and blue now can write crap and pass it as journalism! Those who tarnish others reputation should know that God will do the same to them one day!

Shahrukh Khan has more charisma in his little finger than Salman has at all.

NO, IT'S JUST THAT SRK IS NOT SPEAKING UP ON A PARTICULAR ISSUE PER SE!!

Sharukh is very unlucky to have come close to Priyanka. She wrecks people's family....first Akshay now, Sharukh. Definitley, something must have beeen up between the two otherwise, people can't just make up such story. PC is a shameless woman. Salman is flying high. Keep it up Salman!

I agree that the tables have turned. I have lost any type of "fan-love" I had for SRK.. even if you know that you don't know the truth about a rumor, sometimes hearing someone being associated with something over and over again (PC thing, for example) you get a bit weary and lose interest in that celeb. It's almost as if they become tarnished in your mind, but it all happens so subconsciously because I am not a firm believer of the PC-SRK affair thing but their are enough things to make me think that it is entirely possible.
As for Salman, I like seeing Salman working hard and helping out his family with these blockbuster movies and doing well.

these two are actors for the longest time, are u telling me when they started appearing
together everywherethey didnt know they would get written about?

maybe it was a publicity stunt for srk which spiralled out of control by hurting his family

for pc i used to like her, but now i think she is manipulative and dumb
