Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga recently appeared on Komal Nahta’s podcast Game Changers. The filmmaker expressed her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, revealed her desire to work with Aamir Khan, and ranked Salman Khan as the least popular among the three.
Guneet Monga says she doesn’t know Salman Khan
During a rapid-fire round, when Guneet was asked to rate the three Khans, she quickly responded, “Shah Rukh Khan has been my childhood crush. It was Shah Rukh Khan who inspired me to come to Mumbai. The Khan I desperately want to work with is Aamir.”
When asked about Salman, Guneet replied, “I don’t even know him. And I don’t think he knows me either. At least I’ve met both Aamir and Shah Rukh, but I’ve never met Salman.” She was further asked to rank the three Khans based on popularity, to which she placed Shah Rukh Khan first, followed by Aamir Khan, and then Salman Khan.
