Most girls would die for a date like this. Debutante Jiah Khan still can’t believe that she went out on a date with Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom when she was in Venice recently.

The actress was in Venice with her friends for a vacation when she met Bloom. Jiah was chilling out with her friend’s at Cipriani, one of the famous bars in Venice when Orlando Bloom walked in. Jiah was wearing a white top and denim jeans. Orlando was enamoured by her looks and her long hair. He complimented Jiah on her hair and her typical Indian looks. He mistook her as a Pakistani, but when she told him that she was from India.

Jiah was hesitant to go out with him at first, but soon she warmed up to Bloom. They partied till late night and Orlando later offered to drop her to the hotel. But she preferred to leave with her friends.

When contacted Jiah said, “Yes, I did meet Orlando Bloom in Venice. He wanted me to have a drink with him and I agreed. I find him very attractive. He was in Venice for some film festival at that time, where one of his films was being premiered. He seemed to be clued in about India, and Indians.”

What did Bloom have to say about Bollywood? “He knew only about Amitabh Bachchan, and when I mentioned that my debut film is with Amitji, he was highly impressed,” said Jiah.
