Sourav Ganguly: “My favorite actor is Salman Khan.”

“Hello, my favorite Mr. Salman Khan, welcome to Kolkata,” Sourav Ganguly remarked at the gathering. It just so happens that this is where I first met him in person. This is the first time I have ever met him in person after all these years, and when I first saw him, I said that it was too bad we had never met.
