Here's something to make all you girls out there jealous. Jiah Khan went on a date with Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom!

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 friends at Cipriani, one of the famous bars in Venice when Orlando Bloom walked in," says our source, an eyewitness to the incident. Jiah was wearing a white top and denim jeans. Orlando was enamoured of her looks and her long hair. "He complimented Jiah on her hair and her typical Indian looks. He mistook her for a Pakistani, but when she told him that she was from India, Orlando asked her about Indian food," says our source.

Jiah was hesitant to go out with him at first, but soon she warmed up to Bloom. "He asked Jiah for a drink and dance. They had red wine and discussed cinema at length. When Jiah disclosed that she was an actress from India, Orlando was pleasantly surprised," says our source. They partied till late night and Orlando later offered to drop her to the hotel. But she preferred to leave with her friends," says our source.

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.
