Kate Winslet : Half-blind man in Himalayas made Kate Winslet realise her ‘Titanic’ success

British actress Kate Winslet has revealed that she had no idea how much her role in blockbuster movie Titanic had made her famous, until she met a half-blind man in the Himalayas.

Winslet, who starred in the movie alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997, was on a walking trip around the Indian mountain range when an aged local man approached her.

“A couple of years after Titanic came out, I went to India. I was walking in the foothills of the Himalayas, just me and my backpack, and a man came towards me with a walking stick. He must have been about 85, and he was blind in one eye,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

“He looked at me and said, ‘You – Titanic!’ I said yes, and he put his hand on his heart and said, ‘Thank you’. I burst into tears. It really helped me to understand how much that film had given to so many people,” she added. (ANI)
