4 min readNew DelhiJul 20, 2026 04:47 PM IST More than a decade ago, when Shah Rukh Khan appeared on Anupam Kher’s talk show Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai, he made a statement that has often resurfaced over the years. “Main modest hoon, but I’ll tell you honestly? I am the last of the stars,” he had said. While many have echoed that sentiment, his Darr co-star Annu Kapoor doesn’t agree. In a recent interview, Annu dismissed the idea that Shah Rukh would be the “last superstar.” “I don’t think so,” he said. Explaining his point, Annu told Hindi Rush, “For years, the media has been creating this narrative that a particular person is the last superstar. Similar things were said during Rajesh Khanna’s time. Looking back, nobody in this industry has come close to matching the kind of innings Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle have had. It has become very difficult for anyone to sustain such a long career.” Without directly naming Shah Rukh Khan, Annu continued, “The actor you’re referring to …

I’m okay romancing the hero, but I also want to do more than just be a dumb character,” she said.
