Kher shared a picture alongside Haasan, whom he met at Delhi airport, on his X handle on Friday and said he has been an admirer of the actor's work over the years.

"Was delighted to meet one of the FINEST actors of Indian Cinema #KamalHassan ji at the Delhi Airport! Have been an admirer of his craft and varied performances for years. Have learnt so much from him as an actor. His list of great performances is countless," Kher wrote in his post.

The "Saaransh" actor said he had a "rich conversation" with Hassan.

"We sat in the airport lounge for almost an hour. In that one hour it seemed we spoke about a lifetime! So many topics- world cinema, #KBalachander sir, life lessons, favourite books and of course the great #RajniKanth sir! It was a RICH conversation! Thank you sir for your wisdom, warmth and appreciation! Love, respect and prayers always! @ikamalhaasan. #Actors #Airport," he wrote.
