Shah Rukh Khan's father once lost Lok Sabha elections to Aamir's great-granduncle, didn't get a single vote

Many of you might know that Shah Rukh Khan's father Meer Taj Mohammed Khan was one of the youngest freedom fighters of India who fought against the British, but how many of you know that he was also a politician who fought Gurgaon, Haryana elections? Not just that, he lost against Aamir Khan's great-granduncle.

SRK's father Meer Taj Mohammed Khan fought elections from Gurgaon in 1957 and didn't get a single vote. People instead voted for the other two candidates which included Abul Kalam Azad of Congress, who was Aamir Khan's great grand uncle. As per an Amar Ujala report, Abul Kalam Azad who was contesting from Congress sear got 1,91,221 votes. On the other hand, BJS candidate Moolchand got 95,553 votes. Taj Mohammad Khan was an independent candidate who wasn't associated with any party. Perhaps, this is the reason why he didn't get even a single vote.

Is this the reason for their rivalry?

As a Reddit user recently reminded fans of this, one of the users said, "The rivalry between the two existed before they were even born", while another user said, "Baap ka badla vs par tauji ka badla." A fourth user said, "I see movie Titled KHANDAAN here. Generation after generation, men of the family fight wars in different fields. Women are interior decorators or divorced and happy."

While everything is apparently good between Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan now. At one point in time, they were at loggerheads with each other. In fact, Aamir was the one who encouraged SRK to take up Darr after he was ousted from the project.

When Devdas had released, Aamir Khan called it a "not so good" film. In 2008, Aamir Khan in his blog wrote, "Shah Rukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?" His statement kicked up a storm and made national headlines. While Aamir clarified that he was referring to his dog, whose name was kept by his previous owners, this of course didn't go down well with SRK.
