Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who met Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro at an event here, said it was a joy and honour to spend time with the Hollywood star.

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.
 

De Niro's session is slated to take place tomorrow, the last day of the three-day event.

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.
