Bachchan, 71, was one of the speakers at the ongoing THiNK fest here. De Niro attended Bachchan's session and later both acting legends met up.
"A relaxed Robert De Niro of so many distinguished films and characters that he played in his illustrious career, and still continues to do so, simple and down to earth, accommodating and friendly... A joy and honor to meet him and spend some time with him privately...," Bachchan posted on his blog.
Bachchan also mixed up with other celebrity speakers like Farhan Akhtar, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Shekhar Kapur.
"There are many from the fraternity that attend too and it is then that we spend time later in happy banter with local dear friends to laugh to discuss, to sing and listen to sonorous thoughts in poetry and verse of both languages...," Bachchan added.
