Meanwhile, Salman still believes that his rival Shahrukh is the real "King of Khan." Despite controversies, the two Bollywood actors keep a healthy professional relationship and they respect each other.

A reporter once asked Salman on him being dubbed as the "King of Bollywood." The actor answered wittily, "You are talking about Shah Rukh?" The reporter said he was not referring to SRK.

"I am mentioning (him)," Salman continued. "If he is the king, he should be the king, that is the good position."

Salman previously revealed his insights about his rival and the actor has nothing bad to say about Shahrukh.

"I like Shah Rukh though we do not get along and don't talk," Salman revealed.

"There are people who will come and bitch him out to me that I can't stand at all. We are not best friends any more, but are normal and cordial. He thinks. He plans. God has given him a mind and he uses that and is a hardworking man," he explained.

Salman also stated that despite what people say about Shahrukh, he believes that he is great guy.
