The Pretty Woman actress praises Khan's act in The Name-sake

When in LA for the Oscars, Irrfan Khan met up with Julia Roberts for what turned out to be a memorable rendezvous.

He recalls, "On the day after the Oscars ceremony, we were doing a photo-feature for a magazine when I was told Julia Roberts was close by , and asked if I would like to meet her? I said she didn't know me. But I was told she knew about my work and I ran to meet her. It turned out Julia had seen The Namesake very recently. She was genuinely pleased to meet me. 'What a beautiful film you've given us,' she said. I swooned."

Bowled over
Irrfan was bowled over by Julia Robert's gracious compliments. "Such a big star and so little vanity. She not only had wonderful things to say about my film, she also lavished praise on India. 'My kids and I love your country. They were in India and plan to return again,' she said. Irrfan calls her the most beautiful woman he has met. "She was as cheerful and warm and full of compassion as she appears on screen. But I could've killed myself for not carrying DVDs of my other films, so I could give them to Julia. I'm so badly organised."
