Celebrity Encounters

I am not the kind to go crazy about these so called celebrities, but occasionally u come across one of ur favorites it makes u feel good. Last week I met this gal Shewta who works for one of the news channels. I find her quite attractive, but when I saw her at the station I wasn’t even sure if its her, so it took some courage to walk upto her n ask her if she…..and indeed she was….actually some thing u don’t get to know from TV is the height..most of the time u just see them sitting and this gal was soo short and tht caused all the confusion…….she has beautiful eyes…n was nice enuf to talk to me for a few minutes…………

The first encounter I remember took place when I was just a kid, when a frnd invited me to watch a film shoot which was taking place at his house, as I took my chair on the balcony I saw this man sitting a few feet away….whozz he…hez some Nasiruddin (he is one of the finest actors in the country has worked in Hollywood too)…did not even merit a second look then.

Then one day ran into the beautiful Twinkle (actress), her mum Dimple was there too and I actually found her looking straight at me and when she realized tht I was looking at her too she looked away…..ok ppl I am not hinting nything..probably she did that unconsciously….

Was at a film awards function, VIP pass n all so we got to sit where all these actors where sitting, look up n see Sonali standing rt there……uff the heart missed a beat…..have had this massive crush on her…….

Now the Cricketers love to talk n brag about the game ….found myself sitting next to Madal Lal (ex test cricketer) on a flight from Delhi and I was stupid to ask him why India doesn’t produce the kind of fast bowlers Pakistan has…once Madan began to talk it ended only when the flight touched down…..for those 90 minutes I just said yes yes ………ufff

Then again was on the plane, bored n tired looking outside ..waiting for it to take off….all that perfume announced that some gal had just sat next to me. When it finally got moving I looked arnd…….hmm it was Pooja Bhatt (actress/director/producer)…….i was in a bit of dilemma shall I talk to her..what if she has those starry hang ups……who cares if she is a star……but wont she think I am weird …with everyone else giving her so much attention n this guy……….so finally I did say hi ….n she was cool hmm super cool…..just another next door gal….. we talked all through that 2 hr flight….infact her dad too was there n he was sitting some 2 rows back…..he might have thought I was harassing her so he asked her to come back but she just said I am fine here……….remember this 70 yr politician he cud not sit still ….wud get up every now n then look at her n then sit down…..in fact we both laughed abt it..the old man seems to be crazy abt u…some ppl had those confused look…..ok she is Pooja but the who the fuck is this guy : ) ……..finally it was time to walk out…..then heard Mahesh …Pooja who was tht guy…ohh he is Jackal ..winkz. I was really surprised to find her so normal n down to earth….she is a darling…ok ppl make sure u watch her latest movie “Holiday”.

Sonu Nigam..i hate him since the day we took the same flight……we all know ur a famous singer….but just sit down yaar…..the guy wud not sit still……..may be there where ants in his trousers….there were lot of empty seats n the guy wud get up n change his seat every 20-30 minutes..just trying to get attention….i already shook hands with u at the Airport wht the F_ _ _ more u want…………….

  • sorry, i headed straight here...hehee..tho we hate all those celebs...can never ignore anything on them!!

    and hey that list is pretty good:)
    and i dunno about ur encounter wid the bhatt gal, but i had this pretty bad exp...she had come to some theatre for some movie promotion thing...offocurse loads of ppl wanted to say hi to her...she even signed a few autographs...but wen a little girl(very cute one) went up to her and asked for a autograph, guess wat! she dint even look at the poor kid, just snatched the paper from her hand signed it and continued talkin to some manager guy...poor kid, since tht day i don't hate her, but kinda had this image of her...of being all haughty...but since she was sooo sweet to u...made me think again...or maybe it was just u that got her talkin;)
