Anil Kapoor's gesture at an awards show has won over social media. Anil sneaked from behind Pooja Hegde while she was talking to the paparazzi. It was obvious that the Jug Jugg Jeeyo actor did this to not steal the attention that the young starlet was receiving. Even Pooja turned to look at the star but he quietly moved away from the frame.
