Kannada actor Rishab Shetty had a memorable encounter with Tamil star Chiyaan Vikram in Bengaluru on Tuesday (August 6). The Kantara actor shared his love and admiration for Vikram, describing him as a major inspiration throughout his journey as an actor. He also shared that he had waited 24 years to meet his idol.

Rishab shared a series of pictures from their interaction on social media. On X, he wrote, "In my journey in becoming an actor, #Vikram Sir has always been my inspiration. After 24 long years of waiting, meeting my idol today makes me feel like the luckiest person on Earth.

Thank you for inspiring actors like me, and wishing you all the best for #Thangalaan. Love you, @Chiyaan #DreamComeTrue (sic)." Rishab Shetty is seen dressed in a floral shirt teamed with black cargo pants.

Chiyaan Vikram, on the other hand, opted for a black T-shirt paired with denims. The duo can be seen wearing matching shades. In one of the photos, the actors are seen laughing their hearts out.
