We spotted the celebrity talk show host in Colaba, South Mumbai, where she met up with Shantaram author Gregory Roberts.
Dressed on a blue top and sporting a hairband, Winfrey, who's staying at the Taj, posed with the Australian author in between conversations.
Winfrey will be in the city for a while and will head to the Jaipur Literature Festival that starts from January 20.
