It is not every day that one gets to interact with one’s idols. Sahil Khattar had one such moment recently when he got to speak at length with Pankaj Tripathi, who he has always looked up to. The two are acting together in Kabir Khan’s 83.

Talking about his first meeting with Pankaj, Sahil says, “He is the biggest actor in the country and everyone loves him. The first time I met him and we started talking, I asked him about acting, life. I wanted to know something about him so that I can imbibe at least some of that in my life. That conversation went on for an hour and a half. Whatever he was saying, I was listening intently. When we finished, he said goodnight and left. The next day, he told me, ‘Woh khatarak YouTube Channel tumhara hai? Woh Sunday Dhamaal tum karte ho? You hosted DID? I said yes. He was like, ‘I have seen so much of your work. Sorry I didn’t take you seriously yesterday.’ Basically, he is so modest. Look at his stature, for him to come and say this the next day, was amazing. I hope he influences my acting too.”

In fact, Sahil guided him in his digital career as well. “He also has a web series coming out. I guided him a bit. The fact that besides being a great actor, he understands and respects my understanding when it comes to digital is truly incredible. Hats off to his modesty, friendship and openness as an actor,” he says.
