Aamir was asked about the Khan rivalry between Salman, Shah Rukh Khan and himself.
He said: “I can answer for myself. I don`t have any negative thoughts about competition with anyone and I thank my ammi (mother) for it.”
“It`s not in my nature. I understand that there are people who think otherwise, but it`s not in me to look at another person`s work, and think, `How come he did so well? How will I do as well?` I just don`t feel like this.”
“When I saw Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) in `Munnabhai M.B.B.S.` and `Lage Raho Munnabhai`, I was so happy with his work, or even when I saw Ranbir (Kapoor) in `Barfi!`,” he added.
The 48-year-old, who is awaiting the release of action adventure film ‘Dhoom 3’ later this month, then went on to praise Salman`s magic.
“Salman is my friend. He is a bigger star than me. When I see him in `Dabangg`, I feel very happy. Salman doesn`t need to do anything. He is a powerhouse of star power.”
” Woh sirf belt hilaata hai, chashme theek karta hai, and see his magic. I have no competitive feeling,” said Aamir, who is known to be a meticulous method actor.
At the event, Aamir received a request to either perform a bit of tap dance that he has learnt for ‘Dhoom 3’ or to show his perfect body.
Then pointing to the difference between himself and Salman, he quipped: “Salman would have done it both – tap dance and he would have shown his six-pack as well.”
“I am a shy kind of person,” he said.
