When you shake Rishi Kapoor's hand, you become Tina Munim from Karz. You know what I mean? All your masculine energy just drains, and you are his heroine in that moment. So, I'm just shaking his hand and I'm like, 'It's the dude from Karz, right? Shaking my hand, and he's like, 'Beta, tu bohot accha actor hai. Shake my hand and promise me you'll keep acting.'' Revisiting his meeting with Rishi Kapoor five years later, the comedian shared, 'Not lying, it's a true story. Within 3 seconds of him doing that, he left.
