MUMBAI: As a youngster, Shah Rukh Khan loved watching Amitabh Bachchan's movies, and admits he wanted to be in the megastar's shoes.

Shah Rukh, 47, has worked with Big B in movies like Mohabbatein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

"The greatness of Mr Amitabh Bachchan is that you can describe your life span with Bachchan films. You have to see it from the point of view of a guy who has grown up wanting to be Amitabh Bachchan," Shah Rukh said on BIG CBS PRIME's India's Prime Icon.

"There's your parents that teach you about life and your school that teaches you stuff, and then there's Mr Amitabh Bachchan, who you just want to be. I'm not saying I wanted to be an actor like him or a star like him. I just wanted to be Mr Amitabh Bachchan," he added.

Big B is one of the contenders on India's Prime Icon.

@Dr Dang: It is rather crude and unfair to rate humans like this. These are all great human beings and artists in their own right and cannot be put in a mathematical formulation. Let us praise and enjoy the greatness and the happiness they all have provided. Of course it does not take away from the greatness of big B. Cheers, M
