As a young girl, Vidya Balan found herself at a public function where, in a moment of sheer excitement, she accidentally bumped into Rishi Kapoor. The actress admitted that his presence overwhelmed her so much that her first thought was that she had seen an “apple.” Confused but fascinated, she looked up, only to notice his rosy, pink cheeks. In her youthful innocence, she couldn’t believe it was him.

“I was running somewhere and accidentally bumped into someone. I thought I saw an apple, and when I looked up, his cheeks were pink,” she laughed. But the encounter didn’t end there.
