Mishkat's Fan Boy Moment on Stage

Mihika Verma (of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein) kept her word when she introduced her brother and actor Mishkat Varma aka Kabir of Nisha Aur Uske Cousins to her co actor Divyanka Tripathi aka Ishita of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.

Mishkat, who is a big fan of Divyanka, had told his sister about how he wishes to meet her someday. So Mihika introduced the two at the recently held 15 year celebrations of the Star Parivaar Awards 2015.

Divyanka even kissed Mishkat on stage on Mihika’s request. Divyanka said, “Mihika is like a sister to me and Mishkat is such a sweet person. Mihika had mentioned to me several times about him being a big fan but somehow we never really got to meet. And when we meet at the Star Parivaar Awards, Mishkat was really sweet and when the two of us were on stage at the same time, I felt it would be nice to surprise him with a kiss, which I did and his smile was priceless.”

Well, fan boy Mishkat, we know your joys surely knew no bounds after having met Divyanka. Watch out for the “Bemisaal 15 saal” of Star Parivaar Awards on coming soon only on Star Plus
