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.
He did none.
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.
