'All Are Talented, Salman Should Come Last': Old Video Of Irrfan Khan Rating Actors Goes Viral
Salman should come last - that's what Irrfan Khan said in an old video in which he is rating actors like Shah Rukh and Ranbir. The video video has kickstarted debate.
One of the finest actors in the industry, Irrfan Khan was also known for his honesty. He would always call a spade a spade. His honesty also reflected through his art. Like they say, he could simply act eyes, even with no dialogue. While his contemporaries craved for a piece of publicity pie, he even took up small roles and took them to another level. Remember him in Haider?

A video of the legendary actor is going viral on the internet in which he is asked to rate actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan among others. This question has been asked several times with different names on Koffee With Karan, but seldom has anyone given the answer with utmost honesty, like Irrfan did in this one.
Many people lauded him for being honest and not being diplomatic about it.
He ranked Ranbir as the most talented actor above Shah Rukh and Aamir. He takes a long pause before he says that all actors in the list are immensely talented and adds, "Salman should come last".
People are lauding his honesty and saying, " Life is unfair. We needed to see more of him." A second comment read, "Bro didn¡¯t even hesitate".
Others thought that he shouldn't have rated Shah Rukh Khan, the superstar, after Ranbir Kapoor.

"Irrfan although said this here, he knew SRK was a different breed. He had once said that one thing that hollywood doesn¡¯t have is SRK and india doesn¡¯t have is Tom Hanks," a fan said. " Ranbir is just an above avergae actor in the crowd of bad Bollywood actors," said another one.
Another fan wrote, "Ranbir Stans clearly posts everywhere, or it is done by any other actor's PR. I don't know, but before Animal, I had never seen SRK vs. Ranbir, and Animal is not even the best performance of him; his acting in Barfi, Jagga Jasoos was way more challenging and better. Suddenly, I am seeing everywhere that SRK is being compared with RK. Why? I have never seen any post about SRK vs. Ranbir on any SRK fan pages before or on RK fan pages. SRK is a superstar, but unlike Salman, he has talent (no hate to Salman). SRK fans don't hate Ranbir; 2023 new-born Ranbir fans just add lines like SRK stans will downvote this type of line to trigger them. these lock-down kids, lol."
