Aamir Khan has described meeting US secretary of state Hillary Clinton as a "real pleasure".

The pair met last week during a visit to St. Xaviers' College in Mumbai designed to promote teaching as a career and education more generally.

Khan wrote on his blog: "It was a real pleasure to meet with her. I found Clinton to be an extremely warm and charming person. And she has such sharp and clear thoughts, and expresses herself so well. It was quite a privilege to meet with her."

The 44-year-old actor recently wrapped up shooting on 3 Idiots, which will be released on December 25.
