End of The Khan War

The war of words between the two Khans of Bollywood seems to have come to an end. At least thats what Aamir Khan would have us believe on his 44th birthday as he waved the peace flag, wishing SRK a successful life ahead. The big question here is, Is this really the end? That is something only time will tell.

"I want to tell Shahrukh that I love him and respect him a lot and I wish that he leads a successful life and that all his films are hits," said Aamir.

This is a new turn of events in the war of the Khans with the media savvy Aamir Khan trying to iron out all the creases with SRK, but while on one hand he wishes success to King Khan, on the other he adds that he isn't following success anymore. He said, "I want to follow excellence and not success anymore. If you follow excellence then success will come after you."

The statement may sound utterly Contradictory but Aamir, who turned 44 also added that the the number game does not interest him anymore."I'm not interested in competing with anyone. I dont play the number game nor do I want the crown for myself. I just like to do good work," Aaamir said.

With Aamir trying to put the number game behind him in search of excellence we wish perfectionist a great year ahead.
