He shared: “Main New York ki sadak pe chal raha tha. Main bhaag raha tha actually, mujhe bohot zor ki bathroom aa rahi this.

“Main bhaag raha tha hotel ki taraf aur woh phone pe baat karte hue aise guzar rahi this.

“Nazar mili toh maine socha, ‘Yaar, yeh toh Natalie Portman hai.’

“Toh main ghoom ke bhaag ke aaya aur kaha, ‘Ek photo, ek photo’

“(I was walking on the streets of New York. Running, actually, as I needed to use the washroom urgently.

“I was running towards the hotel and she was passing by, talking on the phone.

In his excitement to get a picture with Natalie, Ranbir did not realise that she was crying.

She angrily turned to him and said: “Get lost, I say!”

While narrating the incident, Ranbir revealed that though his heart broke when Natalie snapped at him, it did not make him any less of a fan.

He said: “Par aisa nahi hai ki main kuch kum fan ban gaya. Kal bhi agar woh mujhe sadak pe mil jaaye, toh main bolunga, ‘Ek photo, ek photo’.

“(It is not like this made me any less of a fan than I already am.

“(If I meet her on the street tomorrow, I will again request a picture with her.)”
