Veteran actor Anupam Kher met Jimmy Fallon and said that he admires the TV show host and comedian's work. Anupam, who has featured in Hollywood film 'The Silver Linings Playbook' among many others, on Wednesday tweeted a selfie along with Fallon, who is the host of 'The Tonight Show'. "When you meet someone whose work you admire and says he is a fan of your work, it is a wonderful and a humbling feeling. Thank you dear Jimmy Fallon for your warmth, appreciation and generosity," Anupam captioned the image.

Veteran actor Anupam Kher has welcomed actor Vicky Kaushal in "actors' world" after watching his performance in the latest release 'Uri: The Surgical Strike'. "Welcome to the 'actors' world. You are fantastic in 'Uri: The Surgical Strike'. Real, gutsy and a performer," Anupam tweeted. The 63-year-old actor asked Vicky to remember that he is his own competition. "The more difficult you make your job, the more you will explore it. Love and best wishes always," Anupam added.

The military drama is based on the 2016 surgical strike carried out by the Indian Armed forces across the border. The movie, released earlier this month, also stars Yami Gautam and Mohit Raina. The film sees Vicky playing the role of an Indian commando who is involved in the 2016 surgical strikes. It also features Kirti Kulhari and Paresh Rawal in lead roles.
