Shah Rukh Khan is neither handsome, nor a good actor, said Pakistani actor Mahnoor Baloch recently.
In a rather uncanny statement, Pakistani actress Mahnoor Baloch said Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan is not a good actor, adding that he was not handsome in the conventional sense - the way that truly makes a person attractive. The Pakistani actor mentioned how Shah Rukh's aura made him look good, even when he doesn't meet society's beauty standards.
Speaking about SRK’s physical appearance, she mentioned how it does not determine a person's overall aura. She quipped that Shah Rukh ‘is a great businessman’ and knows 'how to market himself', and also how 'he doesn’t know acting'.
"Shahrukh Khan has a very good personality, but if you see him according to the beauty parameters and what is considered handsome, he doesn’t come under that. It is just that his personality and aura is so strong that he looks good. He has that thing (aura), but there are many beautiful people, who don't have any aura, so people do not even notice them," Mahnoor Baloch said on the Pakistani talk show ‘Had Kardi’.
The Pakistani actor further mentioned, "It is my opinion about Shah Rukh Khan that he doesn’t know acting. He is a great businessman, he knows how to market himself. Maybe, his fans and people would disagree with me, and that’s okay. He has a good personality, he markets himself well. There are so many good actors, who are not as successful."
Post the interview, which was shared by Samaa TV's official YouTube channel, several netizens and SRK fans trolled her and one of them wrote, "What rubbish is she saying... SRK (Shah Rukh Khan) is a quality actor and a legend." Another person said, "Mahnoor is definitely wrong. He (Shah Rukh Khan) is the king of expressions."
A third one commented, "What rubbish?" One more wrote, "You and your opinion doesn't even matter." One of the fans commented, “I think she is trying to gain popularity by mentioning Shah Rukh. He is better and way more successful than you. He would never give this kind of remarks for anyone, so he is also a better person than you.”
