Why was Ranbir Kapoor sitting at THE GODFATHER'S feet?

Turns out our desi film stars can be quite the fanboys too.

When Oscar-winning Hollywood legend Robert De Niro made a stopover in Mumbai to visit his Silver Linings Playbook costar Anupam Kher after serving as a speaker at the recently concluded THiNK Fest in Goa, his fans from Bollywood were eagerly waiting to meet him.

Kher, who arranged for some of his close friends from the industry to meet the veteran actor at his acting studio in Juhu, a western Mumbai suburb, poses for pictures with his Hollywood friend in his office.

Kher later tweeted with the picture (above), "Making Robert De Niro sit in my chair in my off @actorprepares will always be the Greatest joy of my Life.:)"
