Shahrukh khan: Actor or entertainer?

Many articles have been written on this topic with some people awarding SRK the title of one of the finest actors and some have written him off the elite title.
Shahrukh undoubtedly has been very choosey in his selection of roles and so far haven’t been able to step out of his chocolate boy image. His role in swades
Did earn him accolades from those have are widely respected in the film fraternity. He is also known to be a great friend and a very caring parent and husband.
For a person who is worshipped by millions and also earns in millions I have my own doubts if he really needs to dance in weddings of people he doesn’t even know?
Some might say that he has seen the hardships of life but does that mean he needs to sell every aspect of himself that too after he has already made so much money.
Come back to the question, SRK is definitely a good actor but surely not the best. There are also very good actors in the industry like Aamir khan and Hrithik Roshan
who are far more versatile and accomplished. Think of Shahrukh doing Hrithik’s role in KOI MIL GAYA or Aamir’s role in LAGAAN.
Actors should be judged by their capabilities only and not by the larger than life image they project.

As for Shahrukh Khan being the best actor in Bollywood, go to Google.co.in and type “actor”.
See whose name comes first !!
