Khan, who appeared in the sixth season of Netflix's “Chef’s Table,” spoke to Insider about the photo that caused a social media frenzy.
"I never expected [the photo] to go viral the way it did. At least I would have tagged my restaurant! I didn't even do that," she said, explaining that it was the “Ant Man” actor’s second visit to Darjeeling Express within a week.
Khan revealed that Rudd was “very gracious” with the staff as he took pictures and even Facetimed “one member of staff who'd returned to India to look after her father, who had COVID-19.”
"I thought that was just the most beautiful thing he did. He talked to her in an unhurried way," Khan explained.
Khan believes his kindness and positive outlook on life contributes to his youthful glow.
"He just looks so happy,” she said.
"I think the reason why he looks so young is because he's a good man. Both his kids were there both times; he's a very family man. I think he's a man at peace, and that shows."

Khan said that being able to meet Rudd in person allowed her to see past the fame.
"For me, he's no longer a big film star. I just see a man who, with all his fame and all the adulation he gets, is just unbelievably humble, and human, and kind.”
"He is the kind of person that you want to be a good guy. He's more than that. He's compassionate, and humble,” she concluded.
While many fans pointed out that Rudd should “reveal his skincare routine, bottle it, and sell it,” the best part about Khan’s observation is that it doesn’t cost a thing to be kind!
