Soon, photos of the royal meeting for the Garden Party hosted by the world’s oldest monarch created a huge buzz online. Now, the official photo of the skippers with the Queen, which got meme-treatment online, caught the attention of Anil Kapoor but for a hilarious reason.

While Twitterati were quick to tell the actor that the photo was photoshopped sharing the original picture sans the funny painting, others were left in splits seeing the star’s candour online. A few users also used the painting to morph one of his own photo, while other fans started many dialogues from his popular films to react to the meme.
