You may have heard about Prabhudeva's meeting withu00a0 Michael Jackson in November 1996, the only time the King of Pop visited Mumbai. Anupam Kher told MiD DAY how the meeting was arranged.

At a party hosted by Bharat Shah foru00a0 MJ at the Oberoi Hotel, Kher who was also present at the event broke the pop star's security cordon and shouted, in excitement, "I love your music."

Before the bodyguards could step in to intervene, Shah stopped them, saying, "He is the greatest Indian actor." Hearing this, the King of Pop took a bow!






Later on, Kher, who remembered from an earlier conversation that Pradbhudeva wished to meet the moonwalker, begged Shah to arrange for a meeting.

He said, "A dancer from Chennai named Prabhudeva wants to meet MJ." Shah promised, "I'll arrange the meeting." The meeting finally took place in Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai. However, it lasted only five minutes.
