Why Is Shahrukh Khan Always picked on?

I wish people would leave Mr Shahrukh Khan alone, after attending the 66th annual Golden Globe awards, the debate currently in air is, was Mr Khan really needed at the Golden Globe awards. Times of India stated in an article that actors Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan are also brilliant actors yet it took a ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ for the Indian and international press to acknowledge their brilliance. The article also mentioned the fact of why was it essential for Mr SRK to introduce ‘Slumdog’ at the Golden Globes and thank the west for recognizing the Bollywood fraternity when he was actually presenting to them a British film with Indian actors.
I think people are just jealous that Mr Khan was invited to the Golden Globe as I feel he is going to represent Bollywood; and I can not think of any other suitable superstar to represent Bollywood then him.
To be honest I feel like Mr Shahrukh Khan gets picked on by the media and critics as he is a superstar and always will be. Other actors such as Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Salman and Amir Khan are also brilliant actors there’s no doubt about that, but they are not on the scale of Mr Khan. What makes Mr Khan; King Khan is hits of making amazing films year after year. From 2006 he has been making hits for us, and years before that. So for people like Akshay Kumar that have made less blockbuster movies in his career, then King Khan I feel the media should not focus on the present but remember the past when we had movies such as DDLJ, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Dil Tu Pagal Hai etc. I find it weirder how Akshay Kumar has made approx 87 movies whereas Shahrukh has made 71 yet he has more blockbusters.
I have nothing against Akshay in fact I think he is a brilliant actor but my one regret in his career is that I wish he has stuck to his marital arts on movies as I felt that is what made his so unique as an actor as not even Shahrukh Khan was as good as Akshay when it came to marital arts.
I think the media need to leave Shahrukh alone as I feel they take him for granted as he is always in the media eye and is always pleasant, with other co-stars and fans.
