‘He is so so real’: Anupam Kher shares details of ‘accidental’ meeting with ‘Cool Dude’ Rohit Sharma; pics go viral

NEW DELHI: Veteran actor Anupam Kher had an unexpected and heartwarming brush with cricketing royalty when he accidentally walked into the wrong vanity van — only to come face to face with former India captain Rohit Sharma and his wife, Ritika Sajdeh. What could have been an awkward moment instead turned into a memorable “meet-cute,” one that Kher later described with warmth, humour and admiration on social media.

Sharing two pictures with Rohit and Ritika on his official Instagram handle, Kher recounted the incident in his trademark candid style. “ACCIDENTAL BUT A GREAT MEETING… Yesterday morning at shooting there were lots of vanity vans parked at the location. By mistake I was ushered into a wrong van. And who do I see? The GREATEST #RohitSharma! My favourite cricketer and his beautiful and hugely supportive wife #Ritika,” he wrote.




The actor went on to say that beyond Rohit’s on-field brilliance, it was the person behind the achievements that left a lasting impression. Kher described the cricketer as “so so REAL,” praising his lack of pretence and effortless calm. “We have a habit of giving titles to our heroes (in films and sports) and rightfully so. They deserve it. But having watched Rohit, on and off field, I can easily say that he is so so REAL! No pretence! No hunger for particular titles,” Kher noted.

What stood out most, according to Kher, was Rohit’s ease and authenticity. “I like his calmness. He laughs easily! Doesn’t make an effort to make a myth about himself! Doesn’t change his persona in front of paps. Stays HIMSELF!! And that is the Greatest Quality of Cool Dude!” he added.



Concluding the post on an emotional note, Kher thanked Rohit for the warmth and time they shared. “Thank you my friend and Hero Rohit for your warmth and appreciation! May God give you both long and healthy life. Lots of love and prayers! Jai Ho!!” he wrote, tagging the moment with hashtags like #Cricket and #Admiration.
