Bollywood star Aamir Khan holds Amitabh Bachchan in high regard and says he neither sees himself on the same platform as the megastar nor can he ever compete with the senior actor.

Both the actors were contenders on Big CBS Prime's show "India's Prime Icon". While Aamir is out of the race, Big B is among the top three icons along with politician Narendra Modi and master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

"I don't even feel I am on the same platform as him (Amitabh), I am not even anywhere close. I can't compete with him because I hold him in such high esteem," Aamir said in a statement.

The two actors, who share a mutual admiration for each other, haven't yet worked together in a film.
