Seems like it is a major throwback Tuesday for veteran actor Anupam Kher, who recalled meeting Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio in a recent social media post. The 'Saaransh' actor took to his Instagram handle and shared a monochrome throwback picture featuring himself posing with Leonardo.

As per Anupam, the picture was captured when the two actors met at an event in Los Angeles. The veteran actor is seen wearing a black suit, while Leonardo looks dashing as always in his semi-formal blazer, T-shirt and an English golf flat cap.

In the caption, Anupam wrote, "I met @leonardodicaprio at an event in Los Angeles a few years back. I introduced myself. I said, "I am an Indian actor." He said, "I know!" I asked, "How?" And then he just gave me a warm hug. He was kind and affectionate. The best thing about being an actor is that you meet wonderful people from all over the world and bond with them easily. Actors are a tribe in themselves."
