Bollywood actor Salman Khan feels his much-younger Prem Ratan Dhan Payo co-star Sonam Kapoor beats his previous leading ladies Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in terms of beauty and talent.
Khan’s on-screen pairing with Dixit, Rai Bachchan, Bhagyashree and Sonali Bendre has been popular with audiences.
While he and Kapoor worked in her debut film Saawariya, this is the first time they are teaming up for a Rajshri movie.
When asked if she is bogged by comparisons to Dixit and Rai Bachchan, Kapoor said: “I don’t think I should be compared to them. They are amazing in whatever they do. I don’t think I am nowhere close to being as beautiful as Aishwarya does or as talented as Madhuri.
“But having said that, I am Anil Kapoor’s daughter. I have seen comparisons since I started my career. So the pressure does not bog me down, it just makes me work harder.”
Khan added, “I think she is as beautiful and equally talented. Perhaps more.”
The actor seemed to confirm the earlier reports, which claimed he found Kapoor’s work in the movie better than Dixit’s in Hum Aapke Hain Koun!.
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, directed by Sooraj Barjatya, releases on November 12.
