Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest stars in the world. His name is linked to romance classics like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. These films shaped an entire generation. His fame spans countries, and his legacy feels strong. But actor Vivek Oberoi feels that fame does not last forever. In a new chat with Pinkvilla, he spoke about how stardom fades with time.
Vivek Oberoi Says People Will Forget Shah Rukh Khan In 2050
Vivek said that people move on faster than we think. He shared that future audiences may not feel the same way about today’s stars. He said, “Which film, starring whom from the 1960s, do you ask anyone about today-nobody cares. You will inevitably be relegated to history. In 2050, people might say, ‘Kaun Shah Rukh Khan?’ (Who is Shah Rukh Khan?)”
His comment shows a simple truth that fame is temporary. Even the biggest names may be forgotten over time. Vivek explained this with another example. He said, “Just as people today might ask, ‘Who is Raj Kapoor?’ You and I may call him the god of cinema, but if you ask any youngster who is a fan of Ranbir Kapoor, they might not even know who Raj Kapoor was. So perhaps history eventually relegates us all to nothingness.”
Raj Kapoor is considered one of Indian cinema’s greatest filmmakers. He is also Ranbir Kapoor’s grandfather. But Vivek feels that many young people may be unaware of his work.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan continues to enjoy massive love. He turned 60 earlier this month and celebrated with fans in Mumbai. He also won the National Award for Best Actor this year for his role in Atlee’s Jawan. This was his first National Award win. Fans were emotional and proud of the milestone.
SRK And Vivek Oberoi’s Work Front
Shah Rukh is now busy with King, and it’s one of the most-awaited films right now. He delivered huge hits like Pathaan and Jawan before this, so expectations are high. Siddharth Anand is directing the film. The cast features Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Suhana Khan, Anil Kapoor, Raghav Juyal and Jaideep Ahlawat. Fans hope to see Shah Rukh in another powerful role.
On the other hand, Vivek Oberoi also has a packed schedule. He is ready for the release of Mastiii 4. He is also part of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, which stars Prabhas, Triptii Dimri, and Prakash Raj. The audio teaser dropped on Prabhas’ birthday and received strong reactions.
