Keeping up his swipes at superstar Shah Rukh Khan and the No.1 slot in Bollywood, Aamir Khan, riding on the super success of his revenge drama 'Ghajini', has said he never thought Shah Rukh was ever on the top pedestal at all.

Aamir, during CNN's special edition of 'Talk Asia', was asked how he feels about being termed the new 'King Khan' after the success of 'Ghajini'. He replied: 'I had absolutely no intention of kicking Shah Rukh off his pedestal. Though I have to say, I don't think he ever was on it.'

Elaborating, Aamir said: 'In my opinion, the actor who I really look up to is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He is someone whose work I really like, a fantastic actor and the kind of stardom Mr. Bachchan has seen, none of us can ever hope to see.'

The 44-year-old actor, whose latest work, the Hindi remake of Tamil film 'Ghajini', was a success at the box office, says he feels satisfied with his films only if they turn out to be as they are intended.

'You can never really tell until you see a film with the audience. How it is going to play with the audience. For me, what is important is that when I see the film once it is ready, has it turned out the way we wanted it to? If we have done that, then that makes me feel happy,' he said.

Aamir, whose own directorial debut film 'Taare Zameen Par', failed to get nominated in the foreign film category at the 81st Annual Academy Awards this year, says that 'Slumdog Millionaire' failed to 'touch' him.

'I thought the movie was well intended. It was a very sincere attempt, but it didn't touch me personally, and I suspect it because I'm not used to watching Indians speak English, all these slum kids talking in English... it's strange,' said Aamir.

This episode of 'Talk Asia' will be aired on March 25 at 6 p.m. on CNN.

srk is the king khan for me
i dont understand y ppl judge like this
i wonder how SM didn''t touch him
no doubt that ghajini is good movie
but once if any watches ghajini of south n then watch thihs bolly ghajini, then they''ll understand which is better

bolly ghajini is nothing infront of that
i think amir should realize that there wil b ppl who r better than him n he is not the superstar of bolly or world

C''mon guys..the journalist prompted this question and in turn aamir replied what he felt. At the same time, Aamir never pronounced that he is king! He clearly mentions that Amitabh was and is always the king!! I disagree about the slumdog bit though!! However, he is entitled to his opinion!!

aamir is such a wannabe
just because he cant be as popular and loved by the fans, doeznt mean that he can just say anythin abt shahrukh like that
aamir, everyone can see ur fully trying soo hard to get publicity by talkin abt the king khan
all i have to say is, GET A LIFE AAMIR!
