When in LA for the Oscars, Irrfan Khan met upu00a0 with Julia Roberts for what turned out to be a memorableu00a0 rendezvous.
He recalls, "On the day after the Oscars ceremony, we were doing a photo-feature for a magazine when I was told Julia Roberts was close by , and asked if I would like to meet her? I said she didn't know me. But I was told she knew about my work and I ran to meet her. It turned out Julia had seen The Namesake very recently. She was genuinely pleased to meet me. 'What au00a0 beautiful film you've given us,' she said. I swooned."
Bowled overIrrfan was bowled over by Julia Robert's gracious compliments. "Such a big star and so little vanity. She not only had wonderful things to say about my film, she also lavished praise on India. 'My kids and I love your country. They were in India and plan to return again,' she said.u00a0 Irrfan calls her the most beautiful woman he has met. "She was as cheerful and warmu00a0 and fullu00a0 ofu00a0 compassion as sheu00a0 appears onu00a0 screen. But I could've killed myselfu00a0 for notu00a0 carryingu00a0 DVDs of my otheru00a0 films, so I couldu00a0 give them to Julia. I'm so badly organised."
