No one can resist the fluffy idlis and crunchy dosas at Bengaluru`s Rameshwaram Cafe, not even Jaime Lannister! On Saturday, a woman named Shakira tweeted a video from the cafe, showing her followers how she met Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
Shakira, an `engineer-turned-content developer,` explained in her video that she was simply shooting herself at the cafe when she noticed Nikolaj in the background, eating idlis and dosas. She approached him for a selfie, and he agreed. The actor was seen hanging out with other tourists while wearing a plain black shirt and a black cap.
In her social media post, Shakira wrote, "So I was at @therameshwaramcafe, Bengaluru when I was randomly filming myself and just found @nikolajwilliamcw aka Jaime Lannister from @gameofthrones standing just behind me, it was a star-struck moment." Her followers couldn`t hold back on asking her where did she meet the Game Of Thrones actor.
