Now here is one compliment we are sure would not only make Aamir Khan feel good but also something that he would love treasuring for life.

Legendary actor Dilip Kumar’s actress wife Saira Banu feels Aamir Khan is that one actor who comes closest to following the thespian’s footsteps in the film industry.

When asked to name an actor from the current generation who she thought comes a shade close to Dilip Kumar, Saira Banu said, “They are all very good and talented and are doing excellent work. Now we have to see who follows the footsteps of Dilip Saab. The closest to that kind of thinking is Aamir Khan.”

Saira Banu, however, refused to comment on Aamir Khan’s ‘intolerance’ statement at RNG awards that kicked up a storm recently. “That is an issue which I would not like to touch upon,” she said.
