According to Aseem Chhabra's book, Irrfan Khan: The Man, The Dreamer, The Star, Irrfan Khan was once in an LA restaurant when he spotted Avengers actor Mark Ruffalo.

According to Aditya Bhattacharya, who was dining with Irrfan at the time, the Angrezi Medium actor "probably saw sparkling lights all over" after his interaction with Ruffalo.
