No matter how old we get, we always have our fanboy moments for someone we have always adored. Well, Anupam Kher shares one such iconic moment in his life, when he got to meet Michael Jackson in 1996 when the pop icon visited India.
Anupam Kher took to his Instagram account and shared pictures where he’s seen beaming with happiness as he shakes hands with Jackson. Well, one look at the picture and we’re sure anyone would go green with envy to be so close and personal with the pop icon. Anupam Kher further tells us how he managed to meet MJ. “Story of this picture!! When Michael Jackson visited India in 1996 a group of selected people were invited to meet him exclusively at Oberoi hotel gardens. I was also a lucky one. Thanks to Bharat Bhai Shah. There was a small stage set up in the garden with a barricade for the special guests. MJ walked down from his suite and stood on the improvised stage with his bodyguards. There was silence and a sense of awe among the selected guests. I was looking at this magician who had enthralled and hypnotised the entire universe with his electrifying performances. He was just a few feet away from me. I wanted to capture this moment. So I broke the barricade, jumped on the stage and almost hugged MJ. The bodyguards rushed towards me and before they could pick me up bodily Bharat Bhai Shah in panic introduced me to Michael Jackson as the biggest actor in India. He immediately and politely bent down and shook a jubilant me’s hands. And my history was captured in this picture. Sometimes you have to make an effort to create Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai moments. Jai Ho!! Pic courtesy my friend @timmins.andre. #MichaelJackson #Overwhelming.”
