It was a meeting between two not-so-aam aam aadmis in the capital on Tuesday.
Arvind Kejriwal kept the promise he made on
Twitter and met Irrfan, whose upcoming film Madaari is about the
common man, at the
Delhi Secretariat to answer questions of the aam nagrik. And Irrfan, without any starry attitude, reached the venue half an hour before the scheduled meeting time of 11am.

PM Modi's befitting reply to Irrfan Khan's tweetSpeaking about his meeting with the CM, Irrfan says, 'I am a common man and I wanted to ask the people in power a few questions about the system.
Does the common man have right to ask questions? How does the
system work? Logon ko system ke challenges ke baare mein pata nahin hai. Kejriwalji ne bhi yehi kaha ki aam aadmi ko participate karna padega, nahin toh badlav nahin ayega. I am trying to present my conversations to the people, koi tod-maror kar pesh nahin karunga main.'
When asked if he will join politics, he says, 'Rajneeti mein meri koi dilchaspi nahin hai.' Interestingly, Irrfan was chosen as the
brand ambassador of the minority affairs ministry back in 2013 by the
UPA government.

I will be meeting Rahul Gandhi and the PM's office has asked for the questions, which I have sent. First of all, I want to meet the I&B minister and ask the questions affecting my industry.'
When asked whose personality is fun '
Lalu Yadav or Kejriwal ' he says, 'Main maza dhundne nahin gaya tha. Maza dhundne ke liye main aapko ek item number dunga, abhi tak item number nahin kiya.'
