Mumbai buzzed with nostalgia as veteran actor Anupam Kher shared a heartwarming moment from his recent flight to Hyderabad. Bumping into Special 26 co-star Kajal Aggarwal, the duo reignited old memories in a candid selfie that has fans gushing.
Anupam, known for his engaging social media presence, posted the black-and-white snapshot on Instagram, capturing their joyful reunion. ‘After years, on my flight to Hyderabad, I met the bubbly and talented Kajal Aggarwal. We worked together in Special 26,’ he captioned, highlighting the distraction-free charm of airplane conversations—no phones, no staff, just pure chat.
Their discussion spanned films, food, spas, Kajal’s Kashmiri in-laws, and her son, showcasing Kajal’s confidence and authenticity. Anupam affectionately called her ‘Pyari Kajal’ and thanked her for the warmth and respect.
Special 26, directed by Neeraj Pandey, drew inspiration from the infamous 1987 Opera House heist. Akshay Kumar led a gang posing as CBI officers, conning the elite, until real CBI sleuth Manoj Bajpayee closed in. The thriller boasted a stellar cast including Anupam Kher, Jimmy Shergill, and Kajal Aggarwal, raking in box office success upon release.
Fans flooded the comments with praise, celebrating the timeless bond between these industry veterans. This chance encounter reminds us how cinema weaves lasting connections, bridging years and flights alike.
