On being asked about her meeting with US President Barack Obama during the Cannes festival, Sherawat expressed her extreme delight to have met the "most powerful man on the planet".

"I feel really special because I am the first Bollywood celebrity who got this extraordinary privilege to meet the most powerful man on the planet just after he signed the warrant of the terrorist as we all know," she added.
