"Half Girlfriend" actress Rhea Chakraborty, a fan of American fantasy drama television series, got the chance to meet Liam Cunningham. She saw him at a sushi bar in Cape Town, South Africa and had a fan moment. Cunningham plays Ser Davos Seaworth, who recently joined House Stark and in the proclamation of Jon Snow (Kit Harington) as King of the North.
The 24-year-old MTV India disc jockey is in South Africa to film for the upcoming movie, "Half Girlfriend." She also appeared in "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" and "Sonali Cable."
A huge fan of HBO's multi Emmy-awarded series, the young actress watched every episode twice. It was in South Africa when she bumped into the Seaworth actor though he understandably tried not to be recognized.
The Indian actress understood and excitedly went to Cunningham who agreed to have some photos with her. She was impressed by the kindness of the 55-year-old Irish actor who even bought her a glass of wine, Business Standard reported.
