In continuation to the previous post, here is another one that will be of great interest to you..This one talks about the two great Khans – Salman & Shahrukh. If you thought I’d leave Aamir, then you are wrong. Aamir will be featured in the next one. Watch out, meanwhile take this !

Salman Khan

I have seen Salman Khan dance, emote, show his bare chests, be the good boy in reel life, otherwise in real life. But rarely did I get a chance to read what he writes. Yesterday was one such day when I read what he wrote and believe me he does write really well.

I started off thinking-when I write this article, I will probably talk the usual – all beauty no brains. But to my surprise, he changed my thinking.

Don’t believe me ? Read the below

Art is created in loneliness and exhibited in public. Aamir khan also said once that an actor’s best period is when he has no work. What he probably meant was that such time off gives an artist, ample scope for introspection and brutal self-analysis. This is what helps an actor to grow as an artist and as a human being. We movie stars are almost always surrounded by people and usually have a very hectic schedule… Loneliness is a luxury…precious to us. Continual self-analysis is a dream. We have to steal moments of loneliness or should I say being alone…to look within. This inward journey is highly rewarding.

You can read more of Salman Khan at http://duskadum.blogspot.com/. Sad, he doesn’t maintain a personal blogsite with his brand on it – something like SalmanKhan.com

Alexa Rank for Salman Khan’s blog is 194, 638 – Not so bad !

Shahrukh Khan

If Salman Khan can create six packs, so can Shahrukh Khan. If Salman pick up a fight, so can Shahrukh too. If Salman Khan can write, then Shahrukh will also not be left behind. Shahrukh thinks he is a fighter and is a winner in everything that he does.

I am not a big fan of Shahrukh Khan but the way he carries himself off screen, makes me wonder why I wasn’t one. There is a bit of professionalism displayed in his writings but not good enough to make the reader think, though. I have heard him speak several times. It seems his oratory skills have not folded well into his pen.

Another point that I have observed is that he has not updated his blog since the IPL days – from May. That is not being a professional. It seems he has created the blog only to link with his IPL pitch, very commercially driven. He has used the IPL hype to his advantage. The appearance of his blog has an IPL touch to it. Check the Knight Riders website and you will know what I am talking about.

After reading Shah Rukh Khan’s blog, all I can say he has a lot to learn to make that emotional connect to his readers.

Here’s a glimpse of his writing style.

It is you, fans, and your generous wishes and comments that have always driven the passion in us. For that, I am thankful. I know that even when we lose a wicket, you will be there to cheer us on so that the batsman heading to the pavilion can walk with head raised, so that the batsman coming in to play can feel encouraged, and so that the opponent knows what incredible force they are up against.

Was it encouraging ? Or did it look phony – as in K..K..K..K…. Kiran ! You decide…

Anyways, you can read his blogs at http://www.millanofthevillains.in/blog/home.asp

Alexa Ranking is @ 1,405,757 – Not very impressive

    Hey did you know Salman wanted to take up his career in script writing like his Dad. But Rajshri Prod thought the boy was too cute to be a writer. Therefore we have his Khan on silverscreen ready to present his bare chest ;-)

    I wasn’t aware that Salman wanted to be a scriptwriter. But I knew, that Rajshri Productions had a big influence on his career…MPK, HAHK etc did prove their belief in him. Talking of his bare chest, he is the trend setter, indeed.
