MUMBAI: Television actress Sara Arfeen Khan, a familiar face to audiences with a solid fan base, has been part of numerous notable projects including Dhoondh Legi Manzil Humein, Intezaar, and the recent blockbuster Singham Again.

Known for her versatility and screen presence, Sara has steadily carved a niche for herself in the entertainment industry.

She recently returned to the spotlight following her appearance on Bigg Boss Season 18, where she played a smart and strategic game. Though she was eliminated due to a lack of votes, her alliances with housemates like Rajat, Kashish, Eisha, Yamini, and Edin made her a memorable contestant.

In a recent interview, Sara made a rather intriguing revelation about the global appeal of Bollywood's three biggest superstars – Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.

While all three Khans command immense respect and popularity worldwide, Sara shared an unexpected reason why SRK and Salman are seemingly more beloved internationally, particularly in Romania.

“Let me tell you, the craze for Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in Romania is on another level,” she revealed. “They’re truly adored there. Aamir Khan, on the other hand, doesn’t receive the same level of enthusiasm – apparently because of the kiss scene in Raja Hindustani. People there felt it didn’t align with what they perceived as Indian culture. But when it comes to SRK and Salman, their stardom is simply unmatched.”

Her comments shed light on how cultural perceptions can shape international fan sentiments, even for globally renowned actors.

Despite the comparisons, there’s no denying that all three Khans—Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir—remain legends in their own right. Their massive fan followings stretch across continents, and each continues to inspire millions through their work, charisma, and enduring impact on Indian cinema.
