Kajol’s recent comment about Salman Khan’s “unmatched star power” has sparked quite a discussion among Bollywood fans.
In an attempt to praise Salman, she mentioned that even Akshay Kumar would agree with her a statement that hasn’t gone down well with Akshay’s admirers.

While Salman’s charisma and stardom are well-established, Akshay Kumar’s fans feel his achievements deserve equal respect.
With both stars having 18 films in the ₹100-crore club, Akshay’s consistency, versatility, and work ethic have made him one of the most dependable names in the industry.

So, for Kajol to frame Salman as being in a league of his own with Akshay supposedly agreeing comes across as dismissive to many.
What’s also caught attention is the silence around Ajay Devgn.

As Kajol’s husband and a seasoned actor with a long list of commercial and critical successes, Ajay has more than earned his place among Bollywood’s top stars.
For Kajol to leave him out of the conversation entirely feels like an odd omission, especially considering the context.
Her comment might have been offhand, but it highlights a broader issue in the industry which is the tendency to focus on “star power” over consistent contributions.
Salman’s popularity is unquestionable, but so is the dedication and talent of actors like Akshay and Ajay.
In celebrating one, there’s no need to downplay the others.
This incident serves as a reminder that Bollywood is stronger when it recognizes collective success rather than feeding into comparisons or fan rivalries.
