Recalling the impromptu meeting, the 44-year-old actress revealed that she and Steven were eating at the same restaurant, during the time when 3 Idiots had just released, in 2009. Recognising her from the movie, he had come up to her and praised the film.
She continued, “He actually came up to me and said, ‘You’re the girl from that very famous Indian film about the three students.’ I said, ‘Yes, that’s me.’ And he said, ‘My God, I love that movie!’ So, you know, I didn’t have to act in an English film for him to have seen 3 Idiots. That, I think, was a special moment for us.”
