Actor Saqib Saleem got a chance to meet Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and the actor called him "inspiring".
Saqib, who got a chance to meet Kohli at an IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Daredevils (DD) on Sunday in Raipur, said it was a "surreal" experience.
"For a die-hard cricket enthusiast like me, it was surreal to go watch a match like RCB versus DD. It was super fun," Saqib said in a statement.
The excited 28-year-old actor, who will be seen playing a cricketer in the upcoming film "Dishoom", says he also got a chance to speak to the cricketer briefly.
"Then I got to meet my favourite Virat Kohli and chat with him briefly..... What an inspiring guy! Wish him and the RCB win this years IPL.." he added.
"Dishoom" also stars Varun Dhawan, John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez.
