Just had a discussion a few days back, with two personalities being compared:
1) Master Blaster - Sachin Tendulkar
2) Super Star - Shahrukh Khan
The debate was on 'who do you think is more popular' and just that. Not who has more money or who is a better man.
As for me, Sachin's certainly a Legend, just like SRK and only bigger one at that.
But I do not agree if you say he is a real life hero or real performer. I feel both the legends are giving output of some entertainment media.
And I'm also a fan of Sachin, love him, watch cricket primarily for him, cherish the moment I accidentally stumbled onto him!!! nothing of the sort with SRK -- he is smart, quick to quip, a better front-man for any representation.
Although it's not a level-field comparison, both are in different fields and thus just can't be compared -- But that's the question
I say, in his field, Sachin certainly rules - Globally. Same is not true for the other.

A common conversation Indians have with people around Asia:
Asian: Where you from lah?
Indian: From India.
Asian: Shahrukh Khan?
Indian: You know him??
Asian: Of course lah, he best actor no?
Indian: Yea, um.. we also have Sachin Tendulkar... best cricketer
Asian: Cricketer? Ai that food thing ma?
Indian: Kinda...
Non-cricket nations still watch Indian movies.. and they all love SRK!
for a particular sect, yes the said conversation holds true.
My post, however was about who do you consider more as a legend/icon. Both are legends in their fields, who is more was the inconsiderate question, apparently wasn't able to elucidate the question through the post :)
