Jiah Khan's brief date with Orlando Bloom

The Bollywood babe was pleasantly surprised when the Hollywood actor asked her to have a drink with him.

Orlando Bloom, better known as the blacksmith-turned-pirate from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ series, met Bollywood newcomer Jiah Khan in Venice recently. While Jiah was holidaying there with her friends, Bloom was apparently there to attend a film festival.

Reports have it that Jiah and Bloom met at a Venice bar called Cipriani. Jiah, who had her long black hair open, soon caught the attention of Bloom, who reportedly asked her for a drink.

During the course of their conversation, Jiah told him that she was an actress from India. Thereafter, the two discussed cinema over glasses of red wine. When Jiah asked Bloom if he knew anything about Indian cinema, the Hollywood star could only recall one name: Amitabh Bachchan .

Coincidentally, Jiah is making her Bollywood debut opposite Mr. Bachchan in Ram Gopal Varma’s movie Nishabd .

Although Jiah’s date with Bloom was a brief one, the two apparently had a good time together.
