Anupam Kher Response:
At Cannes, I got the best hug from the greatest actor of all time!” the 70-year-old actor wrote. Meeting my buddy Robert De Niro, his elegant wife Tiffany, and their lovely daughter Jia at Cannes was an incredible experience. Their love and affection deeply moved me. I also congratulated him on winning the coveted Palme d’Or award at the #CannesFilmFestival opening.
I told him about Tanvi The Great’s world premiere at Cannes! He connected well with #Shubhangi (Tavi) and the rest of our group. I showed him our movie’s first poster, releasing tomorrow, and he loved it. I’m so grateful for your kindness, warmth, that amazing hug, the great lunch, and your contagious brilliance over the years, Mr. De Niro. Having you as a friend is the greatest blessing I could ask for! Special thanks to my sweetheart, Tiffany, for her kindness, hospitality, and for making this video! Jai Ho! #GodOfActing #RobertDeNiro #Cinema #Friends
