The Bollywood legend, who has received praise for his role as an autistic man wrongfully accused of terrorism, said that critics are wrong to dismiss his earlier films due to the success of My Name is Khan.
He told The Times of India: "People say I’m in character in MNIK, and that earlier I was only doing fluff. Being the court jester or the clown isn’t easy. It’s not easy making people smile."
When asked about the frequent comparisons with Aamir Khan, he said: " In our country, we always belittle what we have by saying something else is better.
"Better is the undoing of good. Have you heard American critics comparing Brad Pitt to Tom Cruise?"
