What is one of the prime proofs of the "great friendship" between India and Israel? An iconic selfie.

With this in mind, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu recreated 2014's viral Oscar selfie with Bollywood stars on his penultimate day in India.

Top industry personalities including Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Subhash Ghai, Imtiaz Ali and Randhir Kapoor were present at 'Shalom Bollywood' in Mumbai yesterday.
