Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who will be seen alongside Virat Kohli in a Diwali special show on TV, has praised the Indian skipper and called him a relaxed and genuine person.

"What fun it was interacting with Virat! He is such a relaxed, straight-forward and genuine person. And what a dancer," Aamir tweeted on Saturday alongside a promo of the show, which will air on Zee TV on Sunday.

In the promo, Aamir can be seen learning Punjabi folk dance bhangra from Virat and host Aparshakti Khurana.

"It's a Diwali special episode so two bomb performers of our country, Virat and Aamir sir had to be there. It was lovely to host these two gems," Aparshakti said in a statement.

Aamir and Aparshakti worked together in the 2016 sports drama film "Dangal".
