In an Instagram post, Bhattacharya said she sat down with Khan for an hour-long meeting at 'Mannat' on Sunday.

"They say you should never meet your heroes. Whoever wrote/thought that had clearly never encountered @iamsrk After meeting him for an hour at Mannat last night, I can only say that he is superhuman, not of this universe, yet the most humane... A million thanks to @poojadadlani02 without whom this would not have happened," she wrote.
