The 'Kahaani' actress recently took to Instagram to share a 'precious picture' with Clinton and her husband Siddharth Roy Kapur.

The 39-year-old actress wrote that it was the first time she asked for being introduced to someone and thanked Union Minister Smriti Irani for introducing the two to each other.

“The first time in my life that I asked to be introduced to someone. Thank you, Smriti Irani, for the same. I love Hillary Clinton.
