In an interview with Mario Lopez on the TV show "Extra" on Monday, Clinton said Kim was "warm and very personable", reports aceshowbiz.com.
"I met her for the first time. She came to one of my fundraisers in Los Angeles. I really enjoyed meeting her. I really found her to be warm and very personable," Clinton said of Kim.
During their first meeting, Kim managed to take a selfie with Clinton and rapper Kanye West and posted it on Instagram with the hashtag "Hillary for President".
"(Kim) had a nice way of introducing her husband, as if I didn't know who he was, right? And I enjoy seeing her with her daughter," Hillary continued.
"I think all of us in our own ways can be inspirational or aspirational for people and I certainly think many people see her as someone who gets up every day and tries to figure out how to make that day successful."
Of West's plan to run for president in 2020, Clinton jokingly gave him a suggestion: "If I'm going for my second term, (I will suggest him) to wait (for) four years. But, if I'm not, be sure he has comfortable shoes because there's a lot of walking involved (during the campaign)."
Earlier last month, Kim who was eager to take a selfie with Clinton, ended up writing a muddled caption with misspelled words.
She tried to correct it in the second tweet, but again ended up misspelling president as 'Presisent'.

Jennifer, 25, is circling "Red Sparrow", an adaptation of Jason Matthews' espionage novel that is being set up at 20th Century Fox, reported Deadline.
No deal is put in place just yet, but she is expected to reunite with Francis, who directed her in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2".

"Red Sparrow" is set in contemporary Russia and centres on a state intelligence officer named Dominika Egorova, who is assigned against her will to become a "Sparrow," a trained seductress in the service.
During her first assignment, Dominika strikes up a relationship with her mark, a CIA officer named Nathaniel Nash, and in a charged atmosphere of trade craft, deception, and inevitably, a sexual attraction threatens their careers and the security of America's most valuable mole in Moscow.
Justin Haythe is tapped to re-write a script by Eric Warren, while Steven Zaillian and Garrett Basch are on board as producers.
