Cristiano Ronaldo needs no introduction to football. In fact, the self-proclaimed 'GOAT' is one of biggest and most popular athlete in professional sports. With a record-tying five Ballon d'Ors, four UEFA Champions League titles and a UEFA Euro Cup win, Ronaldo continues to demonstrate excellence in one of the most cherished games on the planet.

Playing for various clubs across different countries, Ronaldo's hard work and sheer will to succeed has allowed him to develop an envious fanbase across the globe. While some of the top football clubs can only dream of having him as a player, his die-hard fans have already granted him a status, no less than a demigod.

Such has been Ronaldo's exploits on the pitch that even a cricket-crazy nation like India isn't immune to his charm. From top-notch cricketers, celebrities to fans in the country, Ronaldo has earned plaudits from every corner of India. Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli, who recently shared screen space with CR7 in an advertisement, has been a vocal admirer of the Portuguese footballer.

And, now it seems, Ronaldo's ever-growing list of fans has found a new addition in Bollywood star Arjun Kapoor. A proven actor who comes from a family of established stars, Arjun got an opportunity to meet the iconic footballer in Madrid during his so-called 'Spain Travelogue' and without thinking twice, the 32-year-old left his star status to live the fan moment at hand.
