Over the years, Sharmeen Obaid-Chiony has earned many an admirer. But who knew that she herself is a fan of the Indian film icon, the muse of many writers and painters, Madhuri Dixit.

Last week, Sharmeen OC’s tweet and a picture with Madhuri D went viral on social media as the Oscar-winning film-maker herself called it a ‘fan moment’ for her. She was in India to take part in the Women in the World moot where she met the actress. Well, to be honest, it wouldn’t be a bad idea if the documentary-maker made a film on the life and work of Madhuri D and its impact on the subcontinent’s women. It’s a free mashwara!
