Click to play videoMumbai: After Aamir Khan's tongue-in-cheek dig at fellow actor Shah Rukh Khan on Wednesday, labelling him number two, King Khan reacted with witticisms on Thursday, saying it was a great compliment to him.
Ob being asked to react to Aamir Khan's widely-reported remark when he asked SRK how it feels to be No. 2, Shah Rukh said: "I just want to tell you, Aamir is a dear friend of mine and if he has thought that I am second to him, it's a great compliment to me."
Claiming that his wife has warned him against saying anything funny about Aamir as she is a great Aamir Khan fan, SRK said: "I and Aamir are completely opposite persons. He is an intelligent, intellectual person whereas I am more of an instinctive man. I am more physical when I do things, whereas Aamir thinks it out."
King Khan said "as Khans" Aamir and he had great regard for each other and "I know his jokes and he knows mine. And, he is hundred per cent No. 1."
On a lighter note, SRK then said: "I said I love K-K-K-K-K-Kiran and he really loves K-K-K-K-K-Kiran."
The Bollywood actor was speaking at a press meet in connection with his Indian Premier League team - Kolkata Knight Riders - which was held in Mumbai. Akash Chopra, Ishant Sharma, Murali Karthik and Cheteshwar Pujara were among the Indian players who were present at the event.
SRK and his wife Gauri gifted each member of the side with a golden helmet. Shah Rukh had earlier released the official song, the official mascot and playing shirts of Kolkata Knight Riders at an event in Kolkata on Tuesday.
With international stars like Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting and Shoaib Akhtar in their ranks, the excitement levels are rising by the day.
The colours of the team are black and gold. A slick advertising campaign has also been released to promote the team, which will be led by Ganguly and will have John Buchanan as its coach.
