Talk about living in a shell. Ram Gopal Varma learnt how embarrassing it could get when he failed to recognize Mahendra Singh Dhoni recently.

The cricketer met the director in the VIP lounge at the Bangalore airport and was shocked when Ramu thought he was a wannabe actor wanting his number. He brushed off the captain giving him his office number and asking him to drop off his photos there.

Dhoni was left stunned at that.

Ramu admitted to knowing absolutely nothing about cricket. He treated Dhoni like any other upcoming actor, eager to work with him. Although he denied that he asked him to drop off his photos.

He remained blissfully unaware about who Dhoni was until people around him told him that it was Dhoni. He would like to apologize to Dhoni the next time he meets him.

As for upcoming actors rushing to Ramu for movie offers, we doubt that'll happen any time soon now, not when everyone is still shocked at the debacle, Agyaat.
