For King Khan, Big B is still the megastar of Bollywood.
Asked about his super status at a press conference here, Shah Rukh Khan told the credit for his success should be given to 'people who work behind scenes'.
It would be wrong for him to claim the whole credit for his current status, said King Khan.
The megastar told Big B remains 'the most stunning actor and a gentleman'.
About his long absences from the IIFA Awards, he told, 'I know a lot of people make a thing of the seven years that I have not been at IIFA ...it has no personal angst to it. It is just that it falls during the summer holidays for my young kids.''
Shah Rukh Khan told the media has created a myth that film stars are small-minded people who get together under one roof at awards ceremonies.
When a Star TV journalist asked why Bollywood stars don't show up together at major awards ceremonies, King Khan told, 'That's no big deal. Any star who has the time, comes. Yeh apke damage main hai ke actors/actresses ek chhat ke niche naahi aana pasand karte. Achhi baat yeh hai ke sab masroof hain aur masroofiat se aa nahi sakte. Otherwise none of us has any issues.'
Turning to the journalist, the Bollywood super star told, 'I actually don't understand your question. We all have been under one roof many times and we are very proud of all the award functions, IIFA specially, around the world. Whenever we are called, we attend.'
Further, King Khan angrily told, 'Your channel said (some time ago) that I am not going to a function because Mr Bachchan is there. That's not true. That's rubbish. But we cannot question your rubbish...(like that) we are so small-minded...All of us come together whenever we have the time to perform, especially when we go to present our best face internationally, like here in Toronto.'
