Jaime Lannister always finishes his idlis

Shakira, who is an ‘engineer-turned-content creator,’ said in her video that she was simply filming herself at the cafe when she spotted Nikolaj in the background, feasting on idlis and dosas. She approached him for a selfie and he obliged. The actor was seen in a simple black shirt and a black hat, hanging out with other tourists.

“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,” Shakira wrote in her post. Her followers were impressed by the video, asking her where she ran into the actor.

Last year in November, Indian actor Prajakta Koli also met Nikolaj in New York. They spoke about the environment in a video shared by her. While speaking, Nikolaj said, "If anyone is wondering why there's a constant helicopter, it's just that this helicopter has been following you now for three days. You're this famous, it's crazy." She teased, "Between the two of us, it's me. I'm that famous that this helicopter keeps following me everywhere I go...Ya it's a tough life being this famous. International actor of one of the biggest series made ever."
