Watch: Sudesh Lehri Has A Chance Encounter With His 'Favourite' Actor Anupam Kher

Sudesh Lehri, who is currently entertaining the audience on the cooking reality show Laughter Chefs, recently had a memorable fan moment. The comedian was aboard a flight from Delhi to Mumbai when he met his “favourite” actor, Anupam Kher. He shared his excitement of meeting the veteran actor and conversing with him on the flight through a video post. Even Anupam Kher praised Sudesh Lehri’s comic timing.

Sudesh Lehri shared a video on Instagram where he is seen sitting beside Anupam Kher on the flight. In the clip, he said, “Dosto aaj mein itna khush hu, ki mere favourite actor (Friends, I am so happy today that I met my favorite actor)…” However, he is interrupted when the in-flight announcement begins. Humorously, Sudesh Lehri commented that he was not talking about the voice but the person sitting next to him.

Once the announcements were over, Sudesh Lehri continued, “Sir, mein bohot khush hu aaj ki, mein aapke sari filmein dekh chuka hu, koi reh gayi toh mujhe please batana ki koi aane wali hain. (Sir, I am very happy today. I have watched all your films. If I have missed any, please let me know if there are any upcoming ones).” The comedian mentioned that he has learned a great deal from the actor and looks forward to continuing to do so. Sharing an update, Sudesh mentioned they had different shows in Delhi, and now they are returning home together.

On the other hand, Anupam Kher also expressed how much he admires Sudesh Lehri’s comedy. He said, “Mujhe bohot achha laga aapse milkar. Aapke batein meine suna. Aapka sadgi, aapka humor, mein fan hu. Aapka bohot easy humor hain, mujhe bohot achha laga wo. (I really enjoyed meeting you. I listened to what you said. Your simplicity, your humor—I am a fan. Your humour is so effortless, and I really liked that.)” The comedian posted the candid conversation with his favourite star with a short caption, “Dosto dekho Aaj mai kitna Khush Ho.”
