Mark Ruffalo, famous for his role as Bruce Banner in the superhero film The Avengers, was present in the same diner with a large group of people, probably his family. Aseem Chhabra mentions that Irrfan Khan told Aditya Bhattacharya at that time that he was a big fan of Mark Ruffalo. He wanted an introduction or at least to say ‘Hi’ to him.

The director asked Leslie if she knew him, to which she said yes but said she did not feel like walking up to Ruffalo and bothering him. As stated by Aditya Bhattacharya, by the time Mark Ruffalo was ready to leave, Irrfan seemed disappointed and upset. But to everyone's surprise, Mark Ruffalo stopped by Irrfan’s table and put his hand forward and told the Lunchbox actor how much he loved his work.

As told by Aditya Bhattacharya, Mark Ruffalo had said, “Hey man, I love your work.” According to reports, Irrfan Khan had his fan moment and was very happy to have received a compliment from the actor he had been wanting to talk to.
