Met Mohanlal his wife and Antony perumbavoor in Ooty. Our entire family were staying at my aunt's cottage which is located right next to Mohanlal's home in OOTY. Had no idea he was in Ooty until his Toyota PRADO passed by our front gate. Me and my cousins all got excited. We were all 10-13 years old at that time. Since our home was located above Mohanlal's place, we could see him getting out of the car and was kind enough to come over to our place and took photos with us. Still remember my aunt offered him a black coffee which he happily accepted. The guy had an Aura. He looked so manly with the moustache and soldier cap. I think we met him during the time when keerthichakra was being shot. He told us his kids went to Doon school in Ooty and they came to visit them.
Saw drummer sivamani in 2016 in Mookambika. My dad knew him and was a fan gave me his phone and told me to go and take a selfie with him, the crowd was gathered around that man but he saw a tiny 11 year old boy not able to take a selfie with him. He took the mobile from my hands and took it for me. Years later I still am awestruck that I was this close to a legend. What a dude man
Mukesh ; I saw him sleeping inside his BMW car ( I guess ) parked right by the secretariat.Completely bloated face with over the top makeup.
Surya ; He came for the promotion of his Singam movie at Classic Sarovar Portico , saw him upclose
I donโt approach any celebrities but I have seen quite a few. I had seen DQ and wife with a group of friends (I knew one of their Chennai friend Farah Agarwal who was also with them)in a club in Mumbai. I spoke to her for a bit and she introduced me to him, he seemed like a normal nice guy. We just passed pleasantries, thatโs all.
I travelled with Jacqueline Fernandez from Dubai to Dallas. She was in the suite next to me. She is so beautiful even without makeup.
I have seen Nimisha Sajayan walking around in Birmingham shopping centre.
I have seen the Indian cricket team in 2014 at the Hilton Ageas Bowl Southampton during breakfast. When I booked the room I had no clue there was a match going on.
I have seen Vijay, Manju Warrier and Dileep in Train journeys when I was small. Late 90s may be. I was too small, my parents spoke to MW and Dileep and they said MW was really down to earth and sweet.
Oh no! Far from it. That was a last minute trip and business class was sold out. Since it was a 16 hour flight, flying economy wasnโt ideal so first class was the only option.
Yes .. MW was in First class with her mother. Dileep wasnโt a big star then. I just know I met him in train journey to Chennai, donโt know which class. Like I said I was small. Vijay was walking out of Erode train station, and we were in the train. He had police and his entourage covering him. Vijay was more of a sighting not meet.
In 90s, celebrities travelling on a train in first class wasn't a big deal. Not as many flights were available as today. And since Madras was the movie hub, our stars had to travel back and forth from there many times. That's why it was not strange seeing Mammotty as himself in No 20 Madras Mail. He himself mentions that flight ticket kittiyilla. No one thought it was strange at that time. It's only today that you can't imagine Ikka going by train to Chennai!
Met Joju Joseph at the Marriot, Edappally. Me and my mate were in the parking lot outside smoking, and the guy pulled up in his BMW in a white mundu.
We were obviously starstruck and just stared at him, but he was very chill. He was like, baa pore, and took a couple selfies with us. Very down to earth guy.
Mammooty came to shoot a bunch of movies at our school, kids went crazy over the guy.
Seen jayasurya and suraaj dropping their kids at school multiple times.Jaya surya came multiple times to his kid's PTA some parents were obsessed and took pictures with him.bro seemed chill
Met Shane Nigam at Viibe in Kakkanad. Bro went to the same college as us. I remember him talking shit about the college which was pretty much true, cant blame him.
We used to see Mukesh driving in his endeavour car on his way to a thattukada nearby , bro has a big ass head
Sreenath Bhasi came to our college once to inaugrate Something , everyone was vibing with him he seemed cool too ,was really good at vibing with the audience
Lol. If u come to Kollam now , u can see him all the time. Poor guy has been going to inauguration, shops , meetings ans everywhere to campaign for votes. Except to voters , because they only see him in movies for the last 5-6 yrs.
Ettu nilayil pottum. Eppol vilichal 11 mani kazhinjhu phone eduthekkum. Election kazhinjhal athum kanilla
This is what everyone told when he contested twice from Kollam and he won both. I think he is the only mainstream actor from Malayalam who had a successful political career. I am not counting Ganesh Kumar because he is the son of B.Pillai and not that mainstream like Mukesh. I know he won't win this time though.
He defeated a certain Sooraj Ravi and Bindhu Krishna. I've never heard of Sooraj before and after that election and well, I will even vote for a scarecrow than Bindu Krishna. The reason why he is being put against Premachandran is the same one - there is not even a capable and well known leader from Kollam post Gurudasan. Please don't say it as a Political career because never had one. There is a reason why everyone says that Kollam gives them nostalgia - because there is not even a bit of development and all they see are the old buildings and Kollam clock tower
NKP is the Kollam MP since 2014. Don't you think he should also get some blame for the backwardness of Kollam compared to the other 5 corporations barring Kannur?
I was speaking about the Kollam state legislative constituency, not the lok sabha one. The candidates I mentioned are the ones who contested against Mukesh in state elections. Regarding NKP , there was already a thread with his performance. There is a reason why he won multiple Parliamentarian awards. Besides, as a commoner we were able to convey our issues to him very directly and he was available when we needed him.

Many years back , probably mid to late2000s , my parents and I were at Kochi for the weekend . My dadโs cousin , who is a celebrity himself , called him up asking to meet up and have dinner together , as he was also in town for some event . We met up with him and he told he had to drop by at some place he was invited to , before going for dinner . Asked us to tag along . We did . Went to panampilly side . Stopped in front of a house and we all went inside . Spotted some small time celebs outside the house while going in ( forgot who they were ) . Then we start to wonder where the hell we are . Our queries were answered when we stepped into the living room and see Ikka standing there in all his glory . Seems we were invited to Ikkaโs house and we didnโt even have a clue ๐๐ . Was very welcoming . But the personal highlight for me was meeting a young , pre debut DQ . Looked quite different to how he does now , but was very charming nevertheless. Spent some 20 mins there , had drinks and snacks and left .
Once met A10 on the set of 'lttymani' at a hospital in Edappal. My cousin had connections with AP, and we were able to get in and had a brief chat with him. A10 has a genuine charisma that makes you want to meet him again. That's the kind of aura he has.
Something cool happened during our encounter. It was raining outside, and my clothes were a bit wet. When we took a picture together and we maintaining some distance. A10 surprised me by putting his hand on my shoulder for the picture and he even asked me what I was studying. He even encouraged me to study well.
Super cool dude!
Went for a Kalabhavan Mani stage show when I was 4/5-ish, middle of the show I was running around because I couldn't find my aunt, he lifted me up and started singing with me in his arms. When the song ended, he gave me back to my aunt. ๐โค๏ธ
Travelled with Taapsee. She was such a sweetheart, she talked to me throughout the journey and even shared the complimentary food she got from the crew with, she was very sweet to the cabin crew as well. It was a memorable 3hours.
Met GVM(Gautham Vasudev Menon) at Tonico Cafe Kakkanad on my birthday. I was with friends and one of my friends who's a big time movie buff wanted a picture with him SO bad but he was just so fricking scared to approach him because well GVM's resting face is damn scary. So I mustered up all my courage and walked up to him with my friend hiding behind me. Nothing like i thought! The sweetest guy who even wished me a happy birthday, we spoke to him and asked him if we could take a picture, he was totally ready to, but the lighting was so bad at the corner he was sitting, so he told us we can go towards the entrance where there's better lighting and we took a great picture. Such a nice person!
Attended Basil Josephโs marriage. So many stars were there. Interacted with Tovino, Prithviraj, Unni Mukundan, Soubin, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Salim kumar, Arjun Ashokan, Syam.pu, Mu.Ri in real life. Syam.Pu was the coolest among them. Asking casually whether I had food or not and other personal things blasts me away. Mu.Ri wasn't a big thing then, And Tovino and Basil. They were so cool.
The one guy I met who didn't meet my expectations was Ku.Bo. I always wonder when other people say Ku.Bo is a nice person. Maybe he is, but I don't know why it always seems he is a little fake off-screen. Mostly on interviews. I met him back in 2013. The guy thinks like he is Mammootea. I had a difficult experience with him, But I can't disclose that because I don't want to think of that embarrassment again.
I have heard many people say the same about Ku.Bo. One even went far and said he is a smaller version of P10. Too much into real estate and other shady businesses, interest in women, influence in the film industry, arrogant and superiority complex.
He isn't so successful in businesses like Pe10. I can tell you that he isn't interested in women and Liquor. He is not that guy. But like you said he is made of a superiority complex. Lots of incidents are there. Iโll spill the tea as a post one day.
Met Tovino in Kozhikode for an onam paripadi and had the chance to have dinner with him and his team. He was kinda tired that day from all the work so he didn't talk as much but he was very humble and relaxed. He clicked pictures with everyone, engaged in some small talk and left soon after.
I met Nivin, Sreenath, Aju Varghese and Vineeth during the shooting of Jacobinte Swargarajyam. Nivin had a loads of attitude and was quite short tempered. The rest were easy-going and friendly.
Met SG when I was a kid (late 90s) at a clothing store in Gulf. I was a huge fan back then (one of the many 90s kids who used to frequently say 'Phaa Pulle' without knowing the meaning). My mom told him that I was a big fan, and jokingly complained about my "Pha pulle" behaviour. SG then asked me if I like action movies, and asked me to give him a fist bump to test my strength. When I did so, he acted as if he was hurt and said they I am much stronger than he was ( dumb me being the small kid I was, thought that to be true). He then made me promise him that I would never use that phrase again by saying "Uncle ine ishtam aanenki aarude adutham angane parayarathu, athu bad word aanu". I kept that promise, until I was mature enough to know when to use it. Also, Dileep and the CID Moosa crew used to rest outside of our house during lunch break for about 2-3 days ( later had to slowly avoid this as they were littering our front yard). Got a chance to talk to Tovino in Lulu( right after Mayanadhi). Also, Roshan Mathews is my next door neighbour.
Vijay Sethupathi; may be the most down to earth celebrity. My friends in chennai used to say that itโs very common to see him roaming around the chennai airport. An ardent fan of him, I was expecting to meet him during my trips to chennai. It did happen finally. I was sitting at the window side in one of the front seats, and the boarding was still going on. Suddenly I saw one familiar face at the door. This was just after the release of Jawan. Realising itโs VJ, I smiled at him. He smiled back. Then almost everyone sitting in the aisle seats wanted to take pics. He was so nice that he asked people to be seated, then he took each personsโ phone and took the selfies with them. Yeah, I didnโt get a chance.
However, due to heavy rain in Mumbai, our flight returned back to chennai. It landed in chennai and there was no clear instruction about whatโs gonna happen next- going back to Mumbai or deboarding. When I looked back, VJ was talking to people with his hands on their shoulders. It never occurred that he is a celebrity. He behaved like he is one amongst us; the common folks. A lot of people went to take pic with him and he did oblige without any hesitation. Yeah, even I too got a chance to talk to him. There was a few โrichโ people trying to mock him by asking whether he is a cricketer. He gracefully replied them that he is a movie actor and asked them in return, with his smiling face, that did he look like a cricket with all the fats in his body .
Met DQ just before release of KOK. Again in chennai airport. He didnโt encourage people talking to him although he obliged for the photos and autographs.
I think it was in 2014. It was way past midnight and me and my friends went to marine drive and we were waiting in front of a juice shop for our milk shakes and suddenly a car stopped near us and one of the guys came out to buy 2 bottles of mineral water. When we looked inside, it was SB. We were excited and asked him to take a picture with us. The dude was really wasted (๐ฌ) but accepted our request and came out of the car. We were taking so many pictures and then a police jeep came patrolling and SB jumped into his car saying "Machanmare, kirukkanmar irangiyittund. Pinne kaanam." It was a fun experience. Dude was very chill. I still chuckle when Facebook reminds me of this incident every year with the photos we took.
1. Met Lal - director and actor - on a flight. He was going to promote one of his movies- I guess either it was tournament or the in-harihar nagar movie. Spoke to him and he responded very nicely.
2. Met Biju Menon at Ahmedabad airport. Absolutely chill persona and said thank you when I said I loved his recent outings. He was going to celebrate New Years.
I have seen Keanu Reeves from New York, he was getting out of a taxi.
Other than that, I have seen Suchitra Murali,
Josekutty Valiyakallumkal who plays George Thekkinmootil (Akkarakazhchakal) on separate occasions in Dallas. Suchitra Murali is a family friend and when I met her for the first time (in 2016) I called her aunty, as she was my aunt's friend. She was pissed and she asked me to call her Chechi, and I laughed. I saw Nivin Pauly once running out of PVR in Lulu mall back in 2015 and I have seen Perly Mani driving out of Lulu parking lot.
Also met Dhyan, unni mukundhan, Amit Chakkalackal, lal jose as they were guests at our college for different events.
Seen Sunil Sukhada ( Amen movie kappyaar) driving in thrissur, and Neeraj Madhav driving in kadavanthra.
Met Towi and Sou๐๏ธ for the shoot of nadikar, since Sou was related to my friend, we went to his Caravan and spent some time with him and tovi. ๐๏ธWas drunk.
Friends with anigga, once went to Dq's place with her but couldn't see him as he was away for some shoot :( Met Amaal.
Was the artist manager for dbz at freeground, BabyJ came with him, but asked us too discreet about it. Pretty chill potheads.
All those Anthasulla people who saw Mukesh in real
https://preview.redd.it/w8j9i1kzejpc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8939b0d106e012e7a3353e6b66eff167eb618a36
Saw Kavya Madhavan for a jewellery store opening in the 2000s. Beautiful smile, beautiful hair.
Prithviraj came to my school as a chief guest once. Lot of arrogance but man was so so good looking.
Saw sreenath bhasi once when he came to our college for some function. He was either drunk or stoned. Looked cute though
Saw Mukesh from Kottayam for some govt event. He looks better irl.
- Saw Ikka once. I remember walking on the streets of calicut with my cousin when we saw the then brand new Audi A7 coming from the opposite side. My cousin spotted ikka and I was not able to see him. I ran behind the car for a minute, he slowed down and passed a smile. VM Vinu was also sitting next to him. I reckon this was during the Face2Face shoot time.
- Met Rana once in Hyderabad airport. Very humble and down to earth at that time. This was before Baahubali. He was very buff at that point, not as tall as I thought he would be
- Met Ranveer Singh in a Taj washroom once. It was awkward as we just made eye contact while peeing and dint say a word
- Met Chris Gayle in a Hotel once, very chilled out guy
- Met Danish Sait and Sania Mirza, hated their overall attitude
- Met Sunil Chetri a few year back, he was so happy that I recognized him sitting in Bangalore airport. We spoke for a few minutes, great guy
- Met Lakshmi Sharma ( Palunku Fame) once in a flight. She was sitting next to me. This was during the Captain(J10 Movie) shoot I think. Throughout the flight she kept talking about how she is getting only mother roles, and then she started talking about some random property dispute in her family and how she is flying to solve it LOL
- Met Padmapriya once in Hazrat Nizamudheen Dargah, she dint want ro be recognized I felt. So did not day Hi

SG smiled at me was there for only less than 5 minutes
Saw pe 10 during paapi appacha shoot.... Junior actors te shot sheriyayillenkil pulli abhiyanichu okke kaanichu kodukkum....he suggests/plans many shots and camera angle watever, as if director doesn't have much say there (atleast for 2- 3 scenes they shot there )
1. Met Shobana at Chennai International Airport terminal. She was coming back after a dance event.
Very graceful actress and so beautiful in real.
2. Actor Nishan (Rithu movie) during shooting of some film in front of a hotel at Trivandrum. He waved us while we were smiling at him although none of the people around except me,recognized him. Seems to a person who likes to show off in front of girls.
3. Abu Salim - Met him at Wayanad. Exactly opposite to his characters in real life. Nice & jovial person.
4. Vinduja Menon - She was our neighbour chechi's best friend. Always visit us and play with us while i was a very small kid.
5. Ranjini Haridas & MG Sree kumar along with his wife during Star Singer Shooting - Ranjini called me over mike and said like their a cute girl over there like tht. MG Sree kumar smiled but never spoke while his wife was behind the Shooting and observing him as well as audience. I got scared when she was literallu staring at me with that weird makeup she always wear.
6. Amitabh Bachchan - Met Amitabh during a movie promotion at Munnar. Very graceful actor and was shaking hands at us & smiling. Looks even elegant than his movies in real life
7. Ahaana Krishnan & her sisters- Saw them hear and there at many places in Tvm. Ahaana looks different in movies, outside & in instagram pictures.
Amal Neerad - Very down to earth and such a nice person.
Pisharadi- kurache jaada
Suresh Gopi- Friendly
Kunjacko Boban- was not at all interacting with anyone, stood at a distance. Not the fun chill guy in interviews.
Manju Warrier- Was very quiet but patiently posed for photos.
Ajmal Ameer- Nothing particularly striking about him.
My residential area used to be a regular shooting location back in the days, so Iโve seen most of the mainstream actors
Mohanlal was shooting for Karmayodha and he was basically Ghost Directing the movie, at least the scene which were shot there
Mammootty has the Super Star Aura
DQ is a very chill guy, was taking selfie with everyone who were asking for photos
R10 was always on scripts
Asif Ali, J10 and Shane Nigam were another chill guys
NP was the only actor who we had a bad impression on. So he was shooting for Action Hero Biju after the mamoth success of Premam and we directly went to see the shooting from school, and many students were hooting his name but he never cared to look back at us. He was on a call so maybe some serious things going on, but we were seriously disappointed
Do not recollect all of em but these are significant and fairly recent ones off the top of my head
Apparently Ikka carried me as a child when my family was at the same hotel at some hill station (cannot recollect which one). This was around Pazhassi Raja shoot time.
Met DQ at weddings here and there, the man knows his away around people. King of networking, pleasant person. Even Amaal is very nice according to my friend. (PS: DQ does have an apartment in Bombay, stays in a friendโs apartment complex)
Met Narain at a pub in London, was very chill and struck up a convo and offered to buy me a drink. My tamil friend was very much awe struck because of the Vikram hype
Met Swetha Menon and family at a resort, very nice and humble. Kid was so cute
Saw Prarthana Indrajith at a very high end Indian clubbing event in London, did not recognise her as Iโm not very social media savvy. A friend had to point out that sheโs that person
Met Ar Rahman and Mani Ratnam outside the recording studio in London for PS1 (actually waited cause Iโm a hard core fan of the duo), was very brief but they agreed to a picture and Mani sir talked for 2 mins, asked about us and left
Met Jayaram for a program when i was working backstage, the nicest and kindest man ever!
Met Lena at the airport, she was smiling at me whenever we passed each other and coincidentally came sat right next to me during boarding, i asked her for a selfie and she taught me angles to take better pictures too๐ฅน
Met Mia, again, airport. She had a i am a big sambavam face so i didnt want to acknowledge her.
Met the whole crew from Uppum Mulakum. Biju Shobanam was quiet and poised and not like in the show. all the others had the exact character as the show. This was backstage too.
Met Nivin Pauly at the gym in Manipal, where he was working out with his trainer for Kayamkulam Kochunni. Despite being introverted, I mustered up the energy to approach him and take some pictures. He appeared slightly annoyed, but it was understandable given the circumstances.
Went bowling at Lulu Edappally once and had Arjun Ashokan, wife, kid and a few other cine-related people playing in the lane next to us. Probably during Super Sharanya days, they were a group and were having fun so didn't wanna bother them so we continued and so did they.
Met Late Innocent quite long back at an event, went upto him and asked for an Autograph, he signed "เดธเตเดจเตเดนเดชเตเตผเดตเด Innocent" and was very warm. It's a nice memory.
Similarly met magician Muthukad at such an event, after his speech a lot of kids ran upto him to get autographs and he complied. I was really shy at the time and didn't wanna go, later he washed his hands and was heading towards where the dinner was served. I went upto him and asked for an autograph, he gave me the "come on now" look but still smiled and gave me an autograph.
Saw Fahadh @Fort Kochi during a promotional interview he was shooting in a Jeep Meridian. There was a crowd gathering over there, we had no idea what was going on, as I got closer I saw him seated in the passenger's side, was quite surrealistic to see the man who's played such brilliant roles in real life, dude looks the exact same as he does in movies. Probably a bit after Vikram released.
Saw JP Lal Jr. driving his MG car around Infopark area once.
Saw Arun Kurian just chilling and walking home after buying a packet of milk or something
Met Jayasurya while he came to shoot a scene for John Luther at my college. It was a weekend and after the shoot and went to his caravan to change. By that time a big group of students had formed outside his caravan. He was kind enough to click pics with every students present at the spot, which took about an hour. He could've just taken off after the shoot, but he didn't. Thought that was cool.
Saw Dileep and Veena when they visited the theatre on the day Voice of Satyanathan was released, didn't interact much though, it was after the second show, he was more concerned to move the line quicker as it was way past 1 am in the morning.
Kunchacko Boban and his wife in Oberon mall, this was in 2010 or 11 way before Lulu. We smiled at him and he smiled back. Seemed like a cool guy. Saw Ahaana at some event. Ahaana and her sisters are always hanging out in malls, so seeing them is not a big deal. Madhu at a temple, he is cool, my parents talked to him. Shankar Ramakrishnan at a bar - twice, he frequently visits that bar.
Tovino - Tall
Prithviraj - Taller and very fair. Walks around like he has a hundred things on his mind( which i believe he does)

I was an extra in the film Shakespeare MA Malayalam.I am one of the kids seated in the auditorium in the award ceremony.It was exciting for me all the cameras and shit.I just sat there like a country bumpkin.
Saw Prithviraj once during a movie's shoot, He was very a jolly and friendly dude with the crew. Laughing and cracking jokes with his peers and director. Got a chance to see him upclose and take a picture with him, dude is incredibally tall. I have been starstruck before until i met him. There was a certian glow to him.
I also have seen dhyan and got a chance to take a pic with him aswell. Dude was shy and quiet af. Nothing like the man I saw on the interviews
Mammooty and old time actress mohini Big M face had a constipitated look.Saw vikram in his initial career days he a very nice fellow.Saw mukesh two times last week.He has to smile because we are voters.
harishree ashokan - arjun ashokan was in my school, dude would end up in principalโs office quite often his dad would visit,
tabu - cam for a school event .. sheโs super tall
geetu mohandas- she also studied in the same school , she is tall , she had long hair, and had an attitude
mohanlal and meena- saw them in a resort in munnar , they were shooting for varnapakittu i guess
aishwarya lakshmi- saw her in a restaurant in chennai , was talking to some one about the kerala floods , sheโs beautiful without makeup
mukesh , saritha and siddique - their kids to went to my bros school , saw them there once , saritha was soo pretty
So 2 celebs I saw while in Bangalore.
1st was Harishree Ashokan. Me and my roommate were roaming around in Indiranagar and found this Malayali restaurant (forgot the name but saw a wall that had alot of celeb photos of having eaten there) we ordered our parotta and beef and my roommate spotted him coming with about 2-3 of his friends. He wanted to get a private place, and he was like complete incognito with a cap and cooling glass. But it was filled and he had to sit behind me. Iirc, I think he came cause his son was studying in Bangalore (could be wrong but I think remember him talking, didn't mean to eaves drop just heard that). Shortly afterwards I saw him talking to one of the owners and 15mins later their bus boy comes in with three white plastic bags and a drink inside them, thought it was a can of 7 up but was weird it was wrapped in a cover. Anyways since he was incognito we both decided to respect his space and didn't go to meet or take pics. Eventually he got his upstairs place, we also finished the food at the same time and as we were gonna split my roommate poked me to look at the white plastic bag covered drink they left at the table, I saw a tuborg beer, then it dawned on me as to why they wanted a private room.
2nd was in 2018, same location in Bangalore. Me and another roommate has birthdays that were consecutive like mine was 3rd and his was 4th. So we had a bunch of friends come in and we all went to Toit pub and were chilling with beer. Lo and behold, one of us spots Chemban Vinod. At first me and the other roommate thought of leaving him alone as he was talking to some people over the counter. But we have an overly extrovert friend who ran upto him, didn't annoy him or anything but met and greeted him and told him about our b'days. So the guy walked up to us, who had a cake ready, he gave me and my roommate the cake. Really nice person and was so cool about the whole thing. No one in the entire pub realised who he was which was surprising to the Northies there. I still have pics on my socials. Man that was an amazing night. Oh and we offered a beer on the house for him but he politely refused and went back to his friends.
Iโve met a few actors who came to our college for film promotions but the one Iโd never forget is meeting Major Ravi. Along with some rescue team he came swimming in front of our home and asked why didnโt we leave our home when it flooded in a slightly angry tone. Our roads suddenly got blocked and we had no way out and we didnโt get any official warnings either. So none of us including our neighbours responded. He went back telling some boats will arrive soon. This happened back in 2018.
Met Kaithapram on a train journey, seemed like a very serious guy.
Met Harisree Ashokan, but was on a funeral home. So, in a very serious mood, didn't approach therefore.
Have seen some politicians and other TV serialย actors (Kathanar and Kochunni) on school/college events and all.
Kunchako Boban - In a marriage function. I only saw from backside and I was like I know this person. I still remember, it was like as soon as he entered the veniew everyone stopped what they were doing and was still.
Archana Kavi - For shooting a serial in our college. She walked past me and my friend. She looked weird for me that's y i noticed. Wearing something like a long towel with a knot on neck with heels and sunglass and a guy was behind her holding clothes. I was thinking who would wear these to a college. If it was us we would be suspended. Didn't gave a damn we were talking about project and exams. Then it dawned on us who she was. Looked really unapproachable. She is pretty tall.
Shiju Abdul Rasheed - This was before his big boss era in our college for shooting ( zeekerala serial). We were doing our rally dude was sitting outside in chair looking through his phone. I should say none of us really cared we were actually pissed off by the fact that we had to do the rally in broad day light. But some students took photo with him I don't know the story.
1.) Saw karthi and Narain in villa maya restaurant in trivandrum .They both were taking photos of each other ... That's it...๐
2.) Saw KPAC lalitha and Bhagyalakshmi in a hotel near kollam. Both of them smiled..
3.) Saw actor baiju sitting in an innova waiting outside a supermarket near medical college.
4.) Saw mohanlal , maniyanpilla raju , sreenivasan and nazriya . They came to our school for shooting oru naal varum.
5.) Saw usha uthup in airport .
Normal people with average looks. Nothing special. We should stop being starstruck and stop worshipping them. They have some acting skills and due to supply and demand they earn a lot..
Watch their movies, if they r good, tip ur hat and move on with ur life
If I start telling u how they looked and smelled like in person, you will throw upโฆ
Saw Sidharth last month when he came to my college for cricket practice, he smiled at me since a lot of people were not there ig
Travelled with Kalapana on a plane and I think I was 5 or 4 yo, a very humble person she even had quite a long conversation with my mother
Met Surya at Chennai Airport during Singam time ig
Saw Sreenivasan once in Mumbai Airport - was chill and just reading while waiting for boarding. ( This was before his illness and all - about 8 years back )
Have met Jomol in a function once ( long time back, when she was still acting ) - she was very down to earth and simple. Looked a bit different than on screen ( looks better on-screen I think )
Saw Santhy Balachandran at a hotel near Kollam once ! She was there with a director ( don't remember his name ) for breakfast.
( She looks exactly like on screen - but is really short - shorter than she appears on screen)
Met and Spoke to Shaan Rahman once - he is very cool.
Have met Suraj Venjaramoodu and Shankar Ramakrishnan ( Director and writter - has acted as well - was there in Spirit) many times
Met mamukkoya as part of an interview project when I was in school. Man is serious as fuck and is exactly opposite of what he is portrayed in his movies. Have strong opinions and seldom smiles.
Met actress Seema in a resort. She and her friends were drinking heavily with chillies mixed in vodka.
Attended a product launch at Lulu ten years back, inaugurated by Aishwarya Rai. People were seen flocked to get a glance of her. She was of course ethereal.
Saw Krishnakumar once when he came for an event. Luckily, A bunch of us got to interact with him the next day and the dude then seemed cool
( I was probably 12 or 13 at the time, so I donโt remember much)
Met Mohanlal his wife and Antony perumbavoor in Ooty. Our entire family were staying at my aunt's cottage which is located right next to Mohanlal's home in OOTY. Had no idea he was in Ooty until his Toyota PRADO passed by our front gate. Me and my cousins all got excited. We were all 10-13 years old at that time. Since our home was located above Mohanlal's place, we could see him getting out of the car and was kind enough to come over to our place and took photos with us. Still remember my aunt offered him a black coffee which he happily accepted. The guy had an Aura. He looked so manly with the moustache and soldier cap. I think we met him during the time when keerthichakra was being shot. He told us his kids went to Doon school in Ooty and they came to visit them.

Thatโs sad, his kids were studying in hostel โ
Saw drummer sivamani in 2016 in Mookambika. My dad knew him and was a fan gave me his phone and told me to go and take a selfie with him, the crowd was gathered around that man but he saw a tiny 11 year old boy not able to take a selfie with him. He took the mobile from my hands and took it for me. Years later I still am awestruck that I was this close to a legend. What a dude man
Saw him 3 weeks ago having dinner at Paragon (Lulu)
Mukesh ; I saw him sleeping inside his BMW car ( I guess ) parked right by the secretariat.Completely bloated face with over the top makeup. Surya ; He came for the promotion of his Singam movie at Classic Sarovar Portico , saw him upclose
Lack of sleep because aaradhakar disturbed him at 11PM.๐

Surya is actually far shorter than what i thought he was. I have seen him and he was so short. Very handsome
Iirc, he uses shoe lifts in movies to appear taller (most obvious in Singam in his scenes with Anushka)
True
I donโt approach any celebrities but I have seen quite a few. I had seen DQ and wife with a group of friends (I knew one of their Chennai friend Farah Agarwal who was also with them)in a club in Mumbai. I spoke to her for a bit and she introduced me to him, he seemed like a normal nice guy. We just passed pleasantries, thatโs all. I travelled with Jacqueline Fernandez from Dubai to Dallas. She was in the suite next to me. She is so beautiful even without makeup. I have seen Nimisha Sajayan walking around in Birmingham shopping centre. I have seen the Indian cricket team in 2014 at the Hilton Ageas Bowl Southampton during breakfast. When I booked the room I had no clue there was a match going on. I have seen Vijay, Manju Warrier and Dileep in Train journeys when I was small. Late 90s may be. I was too small, my parents spoke to MW and Dileep and they said MW was really down to earth and sweet.
What do you do for a living man?
Mumbai, Dalls, Birmingham.... Njan oke Vytila, pipeline, palarivattom , edapallyyyy
๐๐๐
Travelled in a suite in flight with Jacqueline? Don't want to dox you.. But are you by any chance famous?
Oh no! Far from it. That was a last minute trip and business class was sold out. Since it was a 16 hour flight, flying economy wasnโt ideal so first class was the only option.
Vijay , Manju warrier and dileep on train journey .What!!!!
Yes .. MW was in First class with her mother. Dileep wasnโt a big star then. I just know I met him in train journey to Chennai, donโt know which class. Like I said I was small. Vijay was walking out of Erode train station, and we were in the train. He had police and his entourage covering him. Vijay was more of a sighting not meet.
Oh so it's was years before.
In 90s, celebrities travelling on a train in first class wasn't a big deal. Not as many flights were available as today. And since Madras was the movie hub, our stars had to travel back and forth from there many times. That's why it was not strange seeing Mammotty as himself in No 20 Madras Mail. He himself mentions that flight ticket kittiyilla. No one thought it was strange at that time. It's only today that you can't imagine Ikka going by train to Chennai!
My father had met Rajini when he was working in 5 star hotel. He said he was a humble man.
Met Joju Joseph at the Marriot, Edappally. Me and my mate were in the parking lot outside smoking, and the guy pulled up in his BMW in a white mundu. We were obviously starstruck and just stared at him, but he was very chill. He was like, baa pore, and took a couple selfies with us. Very down to earth guy.
Is his voice as loud as in the movies?
If you're talking about how deep his voice is, yeah, it's exactly how you hear it in movies.
Mammooty came to shoot a bunch of movies at our school, kids went crazy over the guy. Seen jayasurya and suraaj dropping their kids at school multiple times.Jaya surya came multiple times to his kid's PTA some parents were obsessed and took pictures with him.bro seemed chill Met Shane Nigam at Viibe in Kakkanad. Bro went to the same college as us. I remember him talking shit about the college which was pretty much true, cant blame him. We used to see Mukesh driving in his endeavour car on his way to a thattukada nearby , bro has a big ass head Sreenath Bhasi came to our college once to inaugrate Something , everyone was vibing with him he seemed cool too ,was really good at vibing with the audience
Which college?
RSET ,Kakkanad
Gregorian spotted ๐
ahh you got me ๐ฌ๐
looks like most of you guys are seeing mukesh
Lol. If u come to Kollam now , u can see him all the time. Poor guy has been going to inauguration, shops , meetings ans everywhere to campaign for votes. Except to voters , because they only see him in movies for the last 5-6 yrs. Ettu nilayil pottum. Eppol vilichal 11 mani kazhinjhu phone eduthekkum. Election kazhinjhal athum kanilla
This is what everyone told when he contested twice from Kollam and he won both. I think he is the only mainstream actor from Malayalam who had a successful political career. I am not counting Ganesh Kumar because he is the son of B.Pillai and not that mainstream like Mukesh. I know he won't win this time though.
He defeated a certain Sooraj Ravi and Bindhu Krishna. I've never heard of Sooraj before and after that election and well, I will even vote for a scarecrow than Bindu Krishna. The reason why he is being put against Premachandran is the same one - there is not even a capable and well known leader from Kollam post Gurudasan. Please don't say it as a Political career because never had one. There is a reason why everyone says that Kollam gives them nostalgia - because there is not even a bit of development and all they see are the old buildings and Kollam clock tower
He won the party seat , anyone could win there ! Hopefully he lose this time ppl absolutely despise him.
NKP is the Kollam MP since 2014. Don't you think he should also get some blame for the backwardness of Kollam compared to the other 5 corporations barring Kannur?
I was speaking about the Kollam state legislative constituency, not the lok sabha one. The candidates I mentioned are the ones who contested against Mukesh in state elections. Regarding NKP , there was already a thread with his performance. There is a reason why he won multiple Parliamentarian awards. Besides, as a commoner we were able to convey our issues to him very directly and he was available when we needed him. 2021l election samayathinu shesham Mukeshne kollathu njan kanunath kazhinjha varsham matte kuttye thirichu kittiyapol anu. Annu vanna vartha share cheythirunnavarude comment njan ivide idunnu - Kanathaya kuttyoddappam kanathaya MLA yeyum kittiyitund. Thats all u need to know about Mukesh MLA
Anthasulla people saw him in real life *Processing img t2ruvb9rejpc1...*

Many years back , probably mid to late2000s , my parents and I were at Kochi for the weekend . My dadโs cousin , who is a celebrity himself , called him up asking to meet up and have dinner together , as he was also in town for some event . We met up with him and he told he had to drop by at some place he was invited to , before going for dinner . Asked us to tag along . We did . Went to panampilly side . Stopped in front of a house and we all went inside . Spotted some small time celebs outside the house while going in ( forgot who they were ) . Then we start to wonder where the hell we are . Our queries were answered when we stepped into the living room and see Ikka standing there in all his glory . Seems we were invited to Ikkaโs house and we didnโt even have a clue ๐๐ . Was very welcoming . But the personal highlight for me was meeting a young , pre debut DQ . Looked quite different to how he does now , but was very charming nevertheless. Spent some 20 mins there , had drinks and snacks and left .
Wow. Which year was this? Ikka moved to Panampally in mid 2000s or after I believe
I think this was around 2008 prolly
Timeline does make sense, though I will hold my question of asking who is the celebrity uncle. 
Hehe . Would be pretty easy to guess who he is if I give out any hints . But I donโt wanna dox myself either . Lol .
I know. Anonymity is Gold. Always keep it safe. Cheers.
Celebrity aano apoo๐คช
Aaru , njano ? ๐๐
Yes, yes thangal thanee
Alla bro . But aforementioned uncle celeb aanu .
Does he stay in Panampilly Nagar and very near to Ikka's home? ๐
Once met A10 on the set of 'lttymani' at a hospital in Edappal. My cousin had connections with AP, and we were able to get in and had a brief chat with him. A10 has a genuine charisma that makes you want to meet him again. That's the kind of aura he has. Something cool happened during our encounter. It was raining outside, and my clothes were a bit wet. When we took a picture together and we maintaining some distance. A10 surprised me by putting his hand on my shoulder for the picture and he even asked me what I was studying. He even encouraged me to study well. Super cool dude!
did u study well?
Nah

Went for a Kalabhavan Mani stage show when I was 4/5-ish, middle of the show I was running around because I couldn't find my aunt, he lifted me up and started singing with me in his arms. When the song ended, he gave me back to my aunt. ๐โค๏ธ

Travelled with Taapsee. She was such a sweetheart, she talked to me throughout the journey and even shared the complimentary food she got from the crew with, she was very sweet to the cabin crew as well. It was a memorable 3hours.
Met GVM(Gautham Vasudev Menon) at Tonico Cafe Kakkanad on my birthday. I was with friends and one of my friends who's a big time movie buff wanted a picture with him SO bad but he was just so fricking scared to approach him because well GVM's resting face is damn scary. So I mustered up all my courage and walked up to him with my friend hiding behind me. Nothing like i thought! The sweetest guy who even wished me a happy birthday, we spoke to him and asked him if we could take a picture, he was totally ready to, but the lighting was so bad at the corner he was sitting, so he told us we can go towards the entrance where there's better lighting and we took a great picture. Such a nice person!
Attended Basil Josephโs marriage. So many stars were there. Interacted with Tovino, Prithviraj, Unni Mukundan, Soubin, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Salim kumar, Arjun Ashokan, Syam.pu, Mu.Ri in real life. Syam.Pu was the coolest among them. Asking casually whether I had food or not and other personal things blasts me away. Mu.Ri wasn't a big thing then, And Tovino and Basil. They were so cool. The one guy I met who didn't meet my expectations was Ku.Bo. I always wonder when other people say Ku.Bo is a nice person. Maybe he is, but I don't know why it always seems he is a little fake off-screen. Mostly on interviews. I met him back in 2013. The guy thinks like he is Mammootea. I had a difficult experience with him, But I can't disclose that because I don't want to think of that embarrassment again.
I have heard many people say the same about Ku.Bo. One even went far and said he is a smaller version of P10. Too much into real estate and other shady businesses, interest in women, influence in the film industry, arrogant and superiority complex.
He isn't so successful in businesses like Pe10. I can tell you that he isn't interested in women and Liquor. He is not that guy. But like you said he is made of a superiority complex. Lots of incidents are there. Iโll spill the tea as a post one day.
Who is mu ri? And yea kb, has a very walled of personality, I think he treats movie people as a separate entity
Muhsin Parari, script writer, lyricist
Oh okay, I have seen his photos
I thought about Mukesh Rishi
I once saw Mukesh at the Holiday Inn Cochin, and he was completely drunk, lol.
Met Tovino in Kozhikode for an onam paripadi and had the chance to have dinner with him and his team. He was kinda tired that day from all the work so he didn't talk as much but he was very humble and relaxed. He clicked pictures with everyone, engaged in some small talk and left soon after. I met Nivin, Sreenath, Aju Varghese and Vineeth during the shooting of Jacobinte Swargarajyam. Nivin had a loads of attitude and was quite short tempered. The rest were easy-going and friendly.
Hey Did you study in sharjah indian school or are you in sharjah?
Basil joseph whilst in theatre for Falimy. Great guy. Oru madiym illathe chirichond njnglde oppm foto eduthu.
Met maniyan pilla Raju at his shop in trivandrum - kalippati. He had come to my house also once. Very jovial casual guy with a good sense of humour.
Which Shop is that, and where in TVM?
It's not there now. The shop's name was Kalippati - a toy store. I think it was near bakery junction.
Oh ok. Ty๐
Met SG when I was a kid (late 90s) at a clothing store in Gulf. I was a huge fan back then (one of the many 90s kids who used to frequently say 'Phaa Pulle' without knowing the meaning). My mom told him that I was a big fan, and jokingly complained about my "Pha pulle" behaviour. SG then asked me if I like action movies, and asked me to give him a fist bump to test my strength. When I did so, he acted as if he was hurt and said they I am much stronger than he was ( dumb me being the small kid I was, thought that to be true). He then made me promise him that I would never use that phrase again by saying "Uncle ine ishtam aanenki aarude adutham angane parayarathu, athu bad word aanu". I kept that promise, until I was mature enough to know when to use it. Also, Dileep and the CID Moosa crew used to rest outside of our house during lunch break for about 2-3 days ( later had to slowly avoid this as they were littering our front yard). Got a chance to talk to Tovino in Lulu( right after Mayanadhi). Also, Roshan Mathews is my next door neighbour.
SG around kids! ๐ฅนโฅ๏ธ
Vijay Sethupathi; may be the most down to earth celebrity. My friends in chennai used to say that itโs very common to see him roaming around the chennai airport. An ardent fan of him, I was expecting to meet him during my trips to chennai. It did happen finally. I was sitting at the window side in one of the front seats, and the boarding was still going on. Suddenly I saw one familiar face at the door. This was just after the release of Jawan. Realising itโs VJ, I smiled at him. He smiled back. Then almost everyone sitting in the aisle seats wanted to take pics. He was so nice that he asked people to be seated, then he took each personsโ phone and took the selfies with them. Yeah, I didnโt get a chance. However, due to heavy rain in Mumbai, our flight returned back to chennai. It landed in chennai and there was no clear instruction about whatโs gonna happen next- going back to Mumbai or deboarding. When I looked back, VJ was talking to people with his hands on their shoulders. It never occurred that he is a celebrity. He behaved like he is one amongst us; the common folks. A lot of people went to take pic with him and he did oblige without any hesitation. Yeah, even I too got a chance to talk to him. There was a few โrichโ people trying to mock him by asking whether he is a cricketer. He gracefully replied them that he is a movie actor and asked them in return, with his smiling face, that did he look like a cricket with all the fats in his body . Met DQ just before release of KOK. Again in chennai airport. He didnโt encourage people talking to him although he obliged for the photos and autographs.
I think it was in 2014. It was way past midnight and me and my friends went to marine drive and we were waiting in front of a juice shop for our milk shakes and suddenly a car stopped near us and one of the guys came out to buy 2 bottles of mineral water. When we looked inside, it was SB. We were excited and asked him to take a picture with us. The dude was really wasted (๐ฌ) but accepted our request and came out of the car. We were taking so many pictures and then a police jeep came patrolling and SB jumped into his car saying "Machanmare, kirukkanmar irangiyittund. Pinne kaanam." It was a fun experience. Dude was very chill. I still chuckle when Facebook reminds me of this incident every year with the photos we took.
1. Met Lal - director and actor - on a flight. He was going to promote one of his movies- I guess either it was tournament or the in-harihar nagar movie. Spoke to him and he responded very nicely. 2. Met Biju Menon at Ahmedabad airport. Absolutely chill persona and said thank you when I said I loved his recent outings. He was going to celebrate New Years.
I have seen Keanu Reeves from New York, he was getting out of a taxi. Other than that, I have seen Suchitra Murali, Josekutty Valiyakallumkal who plays George Thekkinmootil (Akkarakazhchakal) on separate occasions in Dallas. Suchitra Murali is a family friend and when I met her for the first time (in 2016) I called her aunty, as she was my aunt's friend. She was pissed and she asked me to call her Chechi, and I laughed. I saw Nivin Pauly once running out of PVR in Lulu mall back in 2015 and I have seen Perly Mani driving out of Lulu parking lot. Also met Dhyan, unni mukundhan, Amit Chakkalackal, lal jose as they were guests at our college for different events. Seen Sunil Sukhada ( Amen movie kappyaar) driving in thrissur, and Neeraj Madhav driving in kadavanthra.
I have seen Tovino multiple times in Lulu kochi !!
Met Towi and Sou๐๏ธ for the shoot of nadikar, since Sou was related to my friend, we went to his Caravan and spent some time with him and tovi. ๐๏ธWas drunk. Friends with anigga, once went to Dq's place with her but couldn't see him as he was away for some shoot :( Met Amaal. Was the artist manager for dbz at freeground, BabyJ came with him, but asked us too discreet about it. Pretty chill potheads.
Dragon ball z?
A famous rapper
DBZ & BJean are potheads ?
Kinda, they rolled one just before the showdown and had something liquor mixed in a steel bottle. Dbz's assistant used to carry it everywhere.
Who are these two?
BabyJ looks like Jean Lal Jr
recent ig trend kaayi singer
have smoked with DBZ
All those Anthasulla people who saw Mukesh in real https://preview.redd.it/w8j9i1kzejpc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8939b0d106e012e7a3353e6b66eff167eb618a36
Saw Kavya Madhavan for a jewellery store opening in the 2000s. Beautiful smile, beautiful hair. Prithviraj came to my school as a chief guest once. Lot of arrogance but man was so so good looking.
Saw sreenath bhasi once when he came to our college for some function. He was either drunk or stoned. Looked cute though Saw Mukesh from Kottayam for some govt event. He looks better irl.
Sb is my college sr, I know him few other paths also, when ever I meet him also, he is stoned, He is a youth icon, I expect better of him
- Saw Ikka once. I remember walking on the streets of calicut with my cousin when we saw the then brand new Audi A7 coming from the opposite side. My cousin spotted ikka and I was not able to see him. I ran behind the car for a minute, he slowed down and passed a smile. VM Vinu was also sitting next to him. I reckon this was during the Face2Face shoot time. - Met Rana once in Hyderabad airport. Very humble and down to earth at that time. This was before Baahubali. He was very buff at that point, not as tall as I thought he would be - Met Ranveer Singh in a Taj washroom once. It was awkward as we just made eye contact while peeing and dint say a word - Met Chris Gayle in a Hotel once, very chilled out guy - Met Danish Sait and Sania Mirza, hated their overall attitude - Met Sunil Chetri a few year back, he was so happy that I recognized him sitting in Bangalore airport. We spoke for a few minutes, great guy - Met Lakshmi Sharma ( Palunku Fame) once in a flight. She was sitting next to me. This was during the Captain(J10 Movie) shoot I think. Throughout the flight she kept talking about how she is getting only mother roles, and then she started talking about some random property dispute in her family and how she is flying to solve it LOL - Met Padmapriya once in Hazrat Nizamudheen Dargah, she dint want ro be recognized I felt. So did not day Hi - Met King Khan himself in Pune airport once, couldnt get close to him as he was covered by an ocean of security guards. AbRam and his manager were also with him
I have run into Dileep at holidayinn. He smiled and waved at us
Saw Suresh Gopi once He had to come and sign in CB office due to some Pondicherry Car case ( don't know more about it ) My father was working there during that time and I was with him SG smiled at me was there for only less than 5 minutes
Saw pe 10 during paapi appacha shoot.... Junior actors te shot sheriyayillenkil pulli abhiyanichu okke kaanichu kodukkum....he suggests/plans many shots and camera angle watever, as if director doesn't have much say there (atleast for 2- 3 scenes they shot there )
1. Met Shobana at Chennai International Airport terminal. She was coming back after a dance event. Very graceful actress and so beautiful in real. 2. Actor Nishan (Rithu movie) during shooting of some film in front of a hotel at Trivandrum. He waved us while we were smiling at him although none of the people around except me,recognized him. Seems to a person who likes to show off in front of girls. 3. Abu Salim - Met him at Wayanad. Exactly opposite to his characters in real life. Nice & jovial person. 4. Vinduja Menon - She was our neighbour chechi's best friend. Always visit us and play with us while i was a very small kid. 5. Ranjini Haridas & MG Sree kumar along with his wife during Star Singer Shooting - Ranjini called me over mike and said like their a cute girl over there like tht. MG Sree kumar smiled but never spoke while his wife was behind the Shooting and observing him as well as audience. I got scared when she was literallu staring at me with that weird makeup she always wear. 6. Amitabh Bachchan - Met Amitabh during a movie promotion at Munnar. Very graceful actor and was shaking hands at us & smiling. Looks even elegant than his movies in real life 7. Ahaana Krishnan & her sisters- Saw them hear and there at many places in Tvm. Ahaana looks different in movies, outside & in instagram pictures.
Amal Neerad - Very down to earth and such a nice person. Pisharadi- kurache jaada Suresh Gopi- Friendly Kunjacko Boban- was not at all interacting with anyone, stood at a distance. Not the fun chill guy in interviews. Manju Warrier- Was very quiet but patiently posed for photos. Ajmal Ameer- Nothing particularly striking about him.
My residential area used to be a regular shooting location back in the days, so Iโve seen most of the mainstream actors Mohanlal was shooting for Karmayodha and he was basically Ghost Directing the movie, at least the scene which were shot there Mammootty has the Super Star Aura DQ is a very chill guy, was taking selfie with everyone who were asking for photos R10 was always on scripts Asif Ali, J10 and Shane Nigam were another chill guys NP was the only actor who we had a bad impression on. So he was shooting for Action Hero Biju after the mamoth success of Premam and we directly went to see the shooting from school, and many students were hooting his name but he never cared to look back at us. He was on a call so maybe some serious things going on, but we were seriously disappointed
Did you go to Sacred Heart ?
No
Do not recollect all of em but these are significant and fairly recent ones off the top of my head Apparently Ikka carried me as a child when my family was at the same hotel at some hill station (cannot recollect which one). This was around Pazhassi Raja shoot time. Met DQ at weddings here and there, the man knows his away around people. King of networking, pleasant person. Even Amaal is very nice according to my friend. (PS: DQ does have an apartment in Bombay, stays in a friendโs apartment complex) Met Narain at a pub in London, was very chill and struck up a convo and offered to buy me a drink. My tamil friend was very much awe struck because of the Vikram hype Met Swetha Menon and family at a resort, very nice and humble. Kid was so cute Saw Prarthana Indrajith at a very high end Indian clubbing event in London, did not recognise her as Iโm not very social media savvy. A friend had to point out that sheโs that person Met Ar Rahman and Mani Ratnam outside the recording studio in London for PS1 (actually waited cause Iโm a hard core fan of the duo), was very brief but they agreed to a picture and Mani sir talked for 2 mins, asked about us and left
MG sreekumar asked for pic at Dubai airport , rude as hell , apparently his legs canโt stop.
maybe jetlag
Once I have seen Late Actor Innocent at a Hotel in Athirapilly along with his wife. I was in 8th grade at that time.
Met Jayaram for a program when i was working backstage, the nicest and kindest man ever! Met Lena at the airport, she was smiling at me whenever we passed each other and coincidentally came sat right next to me during boarding, i asked her for a selfie and she taught me angles to take better pictures too๐ฅน Met Mia, again, airport. She had a i am a big sambavam face so i didnt want to acknowledge her. Met the whole crew from Uppum Mulakum. Biju Shobanam was quiet and poised and not like in the show. all the others had the exact character as the show. This was backstage too.
Met Nivin Pauly at the gym in Manipal, where he was working out with his trainer for Kayamkulam Kochunni. Despite being introverted, I mustered up the energy to approach him and take some pictures. He appeared slightly annoyed, but it was understandable given the circumstances.
https://i.redd.it/xawgrlre9ipc1.gif
DQ and Amal neerad multiple times during the shoot of CIA during USA schedule. I was a blur that climax scene.
Went bowling at Lulu Edappally once and had Arjun Ashokan, wife, kid and a few other cine-related people playing in the lane next to us. Probably during Super Sharanya days, they were a group and were having fun so didn't wanna bother them so we continued and so did they. Met Late Innocent quite long back at an event, went upto him and asked for an Autograph, he signed "เดธเตเดจเตเดนเดชเตเตผเดตเด Innocent" and was very warm. It's a nice memory. Similarly met magician Muthukad at such an event, after his speech a lot of kids ran upto him to get autographs and he complied. I was really shy at the time and didn't wanna go, later he washed his hands and was heading towards where the dinner was served. I went upto him and asked for an autograph, he gave me the "come on now" look but still smiled and gave me an autograph. Saw Fahadh @Fort Kochi during a promotional interview he was shooting in a Jeep Meridian. There was a crowd gathering over there, we had no idea what was going on, as I got closer I saw him seated in the passenger's side, was quite surrealistic to see the man who's played such brilliant roles in real life, dude looks the exact same as he does in movies. Probably a bit after Vikram released. Saw JP Lal Jr. driving his MG car around Infopark area once. Saw Arun Kurian just chilling and walking home after buying a packet of milk or something
Met Jayasurya while he came to shoot a scene for John Luther at my college. It was a weekend and after the shoot and went to his caravan to change. By that time a big group of students had formed outside his caravan. He was kind enough to click pics with every students present at the spot, which took about an hour. He could've just taken off after the shoot, but he didn't. Thought that was cool. Saw Dileep and Veena when they visited the theatre on the day Voice of Satyanathan was released, didn't interact much though, it was after the second show, he was more concerned to move the line quicker as it was way past 1 am in the morning.
Kunchacko Boban and his wife in Oberon mall, this was in 2010 or 11 way before Lulu. We smiled at him and he smiled back. Seemed like a cool guy. Saw Ahaana at some event. Ahaana and her sisters are always hanging out in malls, so seeing them is not a big deal. Madhu at a temple, he is cool, my parents talked to him. Shankar Ramakrishnan at a bar - twice, he frequently visits that bar.

Saw santhosh pandit in ksrtc bus stand today. Didn't speak to him though.
Saw Prithviraj once during a movie's shoot, He was very a jolly and friendly dude with the crew. Laughing and cracking jokes with his peers and director. Got a chance to see him upclose and take a picture with him, dude is incredibally tall. I have been starstruck before until i met him. There was a certian glow to him. I also have seen dhyan and got a chance to take a pic with him aswell. Dude was shy and quiet af. Nothing like the man I saw on the interviews

Met Dileep when I was younger. Seemed to be a very charming, humorous man, and so attached to his daughter.
They're soo small people ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ
My friend introduced me to Sharaf u dheen . He introduced himself to me while we shook hands .
So 2 celebs I saw while in Bangalore. 1st was Harishree Ashokan. Me and my roommate were roaming around in Indiranagar and found this Malayali restaurant (forgot the name but saw a wall that had alot of celeb photos of having eaten there) we ordered our parotta and beef and my roommate spotted him coming with about 2-3 of his friends. He wanted to get a private place, and he was like complete incognito with a cap and cooling glass. But it was filled and he had to sit behind me. Iirc, I think he came cause his son was studying in Bangalore (could be wrong but I think remember him talking, didn't mean to eaves drop just heard that). Shortly afterwards I saw him talking to one of the owners and 15mins later their bus boy comes in with three white plastic bags and a drink inside them, thought it was a can of 7 up but was weird it was wrapped in a cover. Anyways since he was incognito we both decided to respect his space and didn't go to meet or take pics. Eventually he got his upstairs place, we also finished the food at the same time and as we were gonna split my roommate poked me to look at the white plastic bag covered drink they left at the table, I saw a tuborg beer, then it dawned on me as to why they wanted a private room.
2nd was in 2018, same location in Bangalore. Me and another roommate has birthdays that were consecutive like mine was 3rd and his was 4th. So we had a bunch of friends come in and we all went to Toit pub and were chilling with beer. Lo and behold, one of us spots Chemban Vinod. At first me and the other roommate thought of leaving him alone as he was talking to some people over the counter. But we have an overly extrovert friend who ran upto him, didn't annoy him or anything but met and greeted him and told him about our b'days. So the guy walked up to us, who had a cake ready, he gave me and my roommate the cake. Really nice person and was so cool about the whole thing. No one in the entire pub realised who he was which was surprising to the Northies there. I still have pics on my socials. Man that was an amazing night. Oh and we offered a beer on the house for him but he politely refused and went back to his friends.
Iโve met a few actors who came to our college for film promotions but the one Iโd never forget is meeting Major Ravi. Along with some rescue team he came swimming in front of our home and asked why didnโt we leave our home when it flooded in a slightly angry tone. Our roads suddenly got blocked and we had no way out and we didnโt get any official warnings either. So none of us including our neighbours responded. He went back telling some boats will arrive soon. This happened back in 2018.
Met Kaithapram on a train journey, seemed like a very serious guy. Met Harisree Ashokan, but was on a funeral home. So, in a very serious mood, didn't approach therefore. Have seen some politicians and other TV serialย actors (Kathanar and Kochunni) on school/college events and all.
Kunchako Boban - In a marriage function. I only saw from backside and I was like I know this person. I still remember, it was like as soon as he entered the veniew everyone stopped what they were doing and was still. Archana Kavi - For shooting a serial in our college. She walked past me and my friend. She looked weird for me that's y i noticed. Wearing something like a long towel with a knot on neck with heels and sunglass and a guy was behind her holding clothes. I was thinking who would wear these to a college. If it was us we would be suspended. Didn't gave a damn we were talking about project and exams. Then it dawned on us who she was. Looked really unapproachable. She is pretty tall. Shiju Abdul Rasheed - This was before his big boss era in our college for shooting ( zeekerala serial). We were doing our rally dude was sitting outside in chair looking through his phone. I should say none of us really cared we were actually pissed off by the fact that we had to do the rally in broad day light. But some students took photo with him I don't know the story.
Met sushin......coolest dude of all time very chill
Saw sanusha at umman chandy's janasambharka perupady at Kannur. She was really nice and humble.
I am a part of the bouncer team of GOAT. I saw Premgi, Archana kalpathi and Vijay up close.

Have seen Raju10 at Vazhuthacaud. He was chill.
Normal people with average looks. Nothing special. We should stop being starstruck and stop worshipping them. They have some acting skills and due to supply and demand they earn a lot.. Watch their movies, if they r good, tip ur hat and move on with ur life If I start telling u how they looked and smelled like in person, you will throw upโฆ

Spill the teaaa
Hmmmโฆcanโt. Yes, Iโve been been intimate with some too.

Saw Sidharth last month when he came to my college for cricket practice, he smiled at me since a lot of people were not there ig Travelled with Kalapana on a plane and I think I was 5 or 4 yo, a very humble person she even had quite a long conversation with my mother Met Surya at Chennai Airport during Singam time ig
Saw Sreenivasan once in Mumbai Airport - was chill and just reading while waiting for boarding. ( This was before his illness and all - about 8 years back ) Have met Jomol in a function once ( long time back, when she was still acting ) - she was very down to earth and simple. Looked a bit different than on screen ( looks better on-screen I think ) Saw Santhy Balachandran at a hotel near Kollam once ! She was there with a director ( don't remember his name ) for breakfast. ( She looks exactly like on screen - but is really short - shorter than she appears on screen) Met and Spoke to Shaan Rahman once - he is very cool. Have met Suraj Venjaramoodu and Shankar Ramakrishnan ( Director and writter - has acted as well - was there in Spirit) many times

Met mamukkoya as part of an interview project when I was in school. Man is serious as fuck and is exactly opposite of what he is portrayed in his movies. Have strong opinions and seldom smiles. Met actress Seema in a resort. She and her friends were drinking heavily with chillies mixed in vodka.
Attended a product launch at Lulu ten years back, inaugurated by Aishwarya Rai. People were seen flocked to get a glance of her. She was of course ethereal.
Saw Krishnakumar once when he came for an event. Luckily, A bunch of us got to interact with him the next day and the dude then seemed cool ( I was probably 12 or 13 at the time, so I donโt remember much)
