Guneet Monga, the producer who made India proud by winning an Oscar for The Elephant Whisperers, is known for speaking her mind. In a recent interview with Komal Nahta, the celebrated filmmaker got candid during a rapid-fire round and shared her honest opinions about the three Khans of Bollywood.
Monga, who has backed powerful films like The Lunch Box and Kill, didn’t hold back when asked to rank Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan based on popularity. Her answer was quick, clear, and is now making headlines.
Ranks SRK First, Wants To Work With Aamir
When the question was asked, Guneet Monga immediately put Shah Rukh Khan at the top. She revealed that he was her childhood crush and the very reason she was inspired to move to Mumbai and join the film industry. Her admiration for King Khan was clear and heartfelt.
She placed Aamir Khan second, adding that he is the one Khan she “desperately” wants to work with. However, her response about Salman Khan was the most surprising. With a smile, Guneet said, “I don’t even know him. And I don’t think he knows me either.” She explained that while she has met both SRK and Aamir, she has never had the chance to meet Salman. Based on this, she gave her final popularity ranking: “Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan then Salman Khan.”
Her Dream Rs 200 Crore Film Cast
The rapid-fire round continued with another interesting question. Guneet was asked who she would cast as the lead pair if she had a budget of Rs 200 crore for a single film. After a moment’s thought, she gave an answer that would make any Bollywood fan excited.
Without any hesitation, she named her dream team: “Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.” The pairing, which has delivered massive blockbusters in the past, is clearly her top choice for a mega-budget spectacle, once again highlighting her immense respect for SRK’s star power.
What’s Next For Guneet Monga?
Guneet Monga is currently busy with her next big project. She is producing a romantic-comedy that stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles. The film is a joint production between her company, Sikhya Entertainment, and Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, and is expected to be released later this year.
