SRK was encouraged by Anil when starting out, Aamir found his Fanney Khan in actor
Superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Anil Kapoor who worked together in Trimurti in 1995, continue to share a warm equation through the years.
The two recently met while Anil Kapoor was promoting his upcoming film Fanney Khan and were engaged in a long conversation.
Shah Rukh Khan despite his busy schedule took time out to meet Anil Kapoor and wish him luck for the film. He also managed to watch a few glimpses of Fanney Khan and was all praise for the film and Anil Kapoor's performance.
In fact it was a touching moment for the superstar as he referred to Kapoor as his Fanney Khan, someone who always made him feel welcome and encouraged him through the course of his career.
Said Shah Rukh Khan, "Anil sir ne mujhse itni pyaar se baatchit ki. He was my Fanney Khan… a talented, hardworking actor who was always so kind. He would sit with me and chat with me for hours. He was always so encouraging when I just started out. More than encouragements, Anil sir made me feel a sense of apnapan. I don't think I have ever expressed it but I love you sir because you are my Fanney Khan".
He is truly one of the kindest actor's you will ever meet. That very quality of his makes @iamsrk a #FanneyKhan in my eyes. Thank you for the person that you are and for always being so supportive. pic.twitter.com/rLVOhYq2kC

Anil Kapoor also met Aamir Khan, who has worked with him in ‘Mann’ and given his voice to ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’. Khan was also all praises for Kapoor.
“For me, Fanney Khans keep on changing. When I watch Wimbledon, Federar is my Fanney Khan. But frankly, for me, you’re a Fanney Khan. I’m not kidding. The kind of energy you always execute, the never-say-die attitude, the spirit that you have no matter which role you’re playing. For me, when I heard the title, I felt it’s bang on for the Fanney Khan of the industry,” said Aamir.
Everybody knows that he leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the roles he has to portray simply to entertain the audiences. For me @aamir_khan you are truly a #FanneyKhan pic.twitter.com/VFBL0MVig8
