How to use ActionInvoker.InvokeAction? - ASP.Net

I am new to MVC ASP.NET and needed to call an action from one controller in an action of another controller. There I created object of controller and called my required action as below,

controllerOne co = new controllerOne();

co.requiredFunction();

but one of my senior advised me to not use this approach, which kills the MVC pattern use its given ActionInvoker.InvokeAction() function to call function of other controller and I am using now as below,

public class HomeController : Controller
{

    this.ActionInvoker.InvokeAction(new System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext(
        this.ControllerContext.RequestContext, new controllerOne()), 
        "requiredAction");
}

This works fine, but I don't know if the way I am using ActionInvoker.InvokeAction() is correct. I searched to find any example but I could find any.

So my question is: Am I using it correctly?

use this 

var ctrl= new MyController();
ctrl.ControllerContext = ControllerContext;
//call action
 return ctrl.Action();

To do this many people would create a service that encapsulates this requiredFunction and inject the service through it's interface into both controllers
