Aamir Khan, who was in Toronto last week where his wife Kiran Rao's directorial debut Dhobi Ghat played at the international film festival, has another reason to be very happy.
He met the legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins who was also at the festival for his film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.
The Bollywood superstar is a big fan of the Hollywood actor who has starred in cult classics like The Silence of The Lambs, Legend of the Fall, The World's Fastest Indian and Hannibal.
Says a source, "Aamir and Sir Anthony chatted about films. They spent a lot of time together. The Hollywood giant even expressed a desire to see Dhobhi Ghat."
What did Aamir do when introduced to Sir Anthony? Says the source, "They shook hands." Reason we asked was that at the Golden Globes in 2009, the same Sir Anthony was bowled over when our Anil Kapoor (there to receive acclaim for Slumdog Millionnaire) bent down to touch his feet on stage. It is, well, a 'touching' Indian custom meant to show respect to seniors, but not something the Hollywood legend was familiar with. Sir Anthony, startled by Anil's gesture, leaped a foot back!
