Shah Rukh Khan has **firmly denied any rivalry** with Amitabh Bachchan, calling the notion "completely media-generated." In a 2007 interview, SRK emphasized that there were **no personal issues** between them and congratulated the media for finally making some success in portraying rivalry, which he described as false. Both actors share backgrounds of being educated and cultured, and they have collaborated on multiple successful films. SRK also highlighted their mutual respect and professionalism, dismissing the alleged cold war as an embarrassing blending of entertainment and news. Their association included Shah Rukh taking over Bachchan's iconic role in the *Don* remake and hosting *Kaun Banega Crorepati* briefly when Amitabh was unavailable[3][5][7]. Overall, Shah Rukh portrayed their relationship as respectful and collaborative, and the rivalry was more a **media obsession than reality**[3][5].
