How many film stars have you seen from close? Have you met any of them? I live in Mumbai, the city where most of the Bollywood stars live and had the opportunity of seeing many film stars. Have even spoken to a couple of them. One leading Bollywood actress was studying in my school (she was two years junior to me) before she joined the film industry.

I have only had the opportunity of seeing Sunil Gavaskar among the cricketers. I was just a kid then and not at all interested in sports. So I was not too happy about seeing him.

I am not at all a fan of the silver screen. I would never take the trouble of going anyplace just to see a film star. It was just that the place where I lived during my school days had a few film studios close by. And there was one Company just opposite my building that would have a lot of film shootings in their garden. That is why we got a chance to see a lot of film stars then.

I too stayed in Andheri during my school days and that was the time when I got to see most of the film stars. I remember many of them would come for their morning walks to Juhu beach. At that time the beach would be empty early in the mornings. And in addition to that there were a couple of film studios close to our house.

I met Jim Carey and his then wife Lauren Holly backstage at the Tonight Show back in 1996. They were really nice. Also met Jimmy Buffet the singer and Jay Leno too. All were very nice people to us.

I was sent to boarding school where a lot of film stars stashed their girls for safe keeping. So I saw their parents up close. Believe it or not they put their pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. Happy Holiday

No Mayka, I have not. But being in Mumbai, you must have seen and met a lot of celebrities. I am not too keen on meeting them mainly coz they are so made-up all the time, both in their face and talks and mannerisms. But it sure feels nice to remember that you had one of the actresses in your school!

I too am not too keen on meeting these celebreties. Just happened to see them shooting in a film studio near my house. And sometimes in their cars on the way to the airport.

Hi there, Well i have seen a lot of celebreties as iam from mumbai too. I have seen Amitabh bachan in Mumbai air port. Actually we were both in the same plane. I was going to thailand and he was shooting for a film called Ek ajnabi.He was just five steps away from me and it was exciting. Apart from that i live very near to palm beach road where a lot of action scenes in bollywood have benn shot. Right from Sunny doel to Akshay kumar i have seen many. I have seen the shooting of Amir khan starred movie Ghulam the scene where he was running for a competeion near Juinagar station. But trust me iam not a big fan of film stars annd i hate when people scream looking at them and make meaningless comments. Cheers, Tutul

I too am not much of a fan of filmstars and would never run after them. Was at one time living in Andheri where a lot of film studios were there. That is the reason I got to see a lot of them. Palm Beach Road was a lot in the news some months back. Things seem to be normal there now.

I have seen the great Amitabh Bachchan from close quarters, when he was an MP long ago, he visited our office. Once I visited Mumbai and had an occasion to see Vahida Rahman during my visit to Elephanta caves. Once or twice we got the opportunity to some starts, when they were shotting right below our office, near India Gate in Delhi.

I think at one time India Gate was a popular place for film shootings. I have had the chance to speak to Amitabh Bachchan many years ago.

Well, I havent met any celebrity in person, but I have had a glimpse of a lot of them. Most of them being cricketers (since I go to watch cricket in stadium a lot). It may be so that I will be moving to Mumbai in few months, may be I'll get a chance to see some there. Which film star is from ur College by the way?

Oh yes, I have met some of the holywood celebs when they come in Kenya but not on a one on one basis.......I have seen them physically and have attended the places they visited. Serena Williams is the last i saw when she was in Kenya to launch some HP/Serena computer school in a remote part of the country. Naomi Campbell always come to Malindi Kenya to visit. Have met with Alicia Keyes also when she came viiting here.

Being a former performer in show business, I have met quite a few. I have never run into anyone who was rude, even ones who were touted as such in the papers and magazines. I would take classes with some of them. Most were dancers. One of the sweetest female start, whom I met while ballroom dancing, was Chita Rivera. The nicest male actor whom I met was Ted Knight (Tad Martin from the soap opera, All My Children, at a movie set as an extra. He came in and sat down and I said, "Hello, Mr. Knight, how are you?" He said, "Fine thank you, how are you?" I said, "I am very happy to meet you because I have been watching All My Children for years and also loved you in the Angel movie." He laughed and said, "I did not know if anyone ever SAW that movie!" I told him that I not only saw it but watched it a few times and loved it. We talked for a few minutes and then he was called into the office. What a nice man and each time I watch the show I know he is as nice as the character whom he plays.

Yes, I met Dwayne Douglas Johnson (born May 2, 1972), also known by his former ring name The Rock! I met him at a Waffle House In Ft. Worth, TX. He was friendly, and I must admit I was a bit rude introducing myself to him in the middle of his meal. But I met him either way!

Hi Mayka, I never met any celebrities in person. I have seen many by attending programs but it is a far view. They were sitting in the stage and we were audience. I have seen celebrities from South India only (including the mega stars).

Ya i met some tamil film stars during their shooting. It is a truth that heroes very calm and respective in the shooting spot than heroines. There is nothing special while meeting them. We can know they were very beautiful on the screen , it is horrible to believe them behind the screen.
