Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is in Himachal Pradesh to participate in the Dharamshala International Film Festival. Writer Varun Grover and Oscar-nominated documentary filmmakers Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh have also joined him, as they hosted masterclasses and panel discussions. Late Saturday night, Anurag also shared a photo of him meeting the Dalai Lama at the event.

Posting a picture on Instagram of being greeted by the holiness, he wrote, “This happened today @diff.india.” In the photo, while the Dalai Lama is seen smiling, with his hands folded as he meets Anurag, the latter shakes hands with one of the disciples. Anurag’s fans and friends posted heart emojis on the photos, while a few dropped comments like, “woah”, “wow” and “lucky”.
