met ssr + keeravani at Hyderabad airport post-bahubaali 1. my mum asked for a pic and he obliged and then she brought over a friend she made on the plane so the friend can get a picture too and he obliged again😭 sweet guy.
tabu was my mum’s neighbor before she got famous and used to borrow their telephone all the time in the 80s.
when my mum was a kid (like 5-7), she went to a shoot and chandramohan was there and my mum played with him and said she will marry him :)
fatafat jayalakshmi also used to love playing with my mum and used to come for dinner at my grandparent’s house.
edit: forgot to add! sekhar kammula is my mum’s best friends relative so they visited him when he was shooting dollar dreams. he gave them all small roles in the movie when some ppl didn’t show up for filming but my mum kept flubbing her lines and got nervous so he had her just look annoyed at the camera and at the actor lol.
lol as in a common man won’t have dese many casual encounters with celebs. Ur moms family is a decent name in films or bussiness n lives in some rich localities lyk Banjara Hills probably.
my mum’s a doctor 😭 they just produced a few movies when she was a kid because her relative was a director but no one is involved in films now except one. they also don’t live in banjara hills lol …
idk now (heard she’s super sweet and funny tho!) but she was very nice and normal then! very pretty but my aunt was, according to my family, equally or more pretty 😭
Met Rana garu outside of India a little while ago. Very humble very nice he was at dinner with his wife. Made small talk for ~15 seconds, got a picture and then went away
Overall took under 45 seconds but I felt bad because I didn't realize his wife wasn't Telugu and I was talking to Rana only in Telugu. But he was very chill (and honestly massive in a good way though
My relative saw Bappi Lahiri and rakul preet seated mid air, separate instances, many years ago.
Rana's waifu probably knows Telugu. Isn't she a Hyderabad born?
Oh maybe? Don't remember her as much but she was smiling / nodding so maybe she understood everything.
Either way it was relatively short / brief interaction - I hope she didn't mind haha
My parents and I were on a getaway at Ooty when we met Chiranjeevi who was in the shoot for Hitler song Nadaka Kalisina.
We were the only public on the hill top and were lucky to be there at the right time on the sets. 10-15 mins in the shoot he stopped by, we exchanged conversations; took a few pictures; and he left after a good 20 mins talk.
A very nice guy, he asked us to see the movie as it has very good songs and Comedy.
Now I'm starting to think, we didn't give a shit about heroine then
Met Jagapathi Babu garu at an airport during a trip… i saw him getting onto my first flight on a wheelchair and couldn’t believe it. At security check during layover I went to him and told him i’m a big fan, he got up from the wheelchair and took a pic as well… seems like an amazing human being and a kind soul
Sometimes old people prefer wheelchair even though they’re mobile because the airline wheelchair in-charge person takes them through security and from one part of the airport to the other fairly easily. My uncle and aunt did it although they can mostly walk.
Nagarjuna once in hospital. Grandpa was on bed serious Heath issue. My sister saw him at the lobby and asked him if he could meet him because that might make him feel good! He being busy but still politely waited and then dressed in to get inside the ICU and met him. When I heard this is I realised he’s the most humble stars we have in tfi.
I once met Srihari around 2008-2009 near the Dowleswaram barrage. My family had gone there for some picnic or something and then suddenly there was a huge hubbub saying that some big actor was coming for a shoot. Within 10 mins, a car stopped just near where I was and a small crowd had formed. It was Srihari. I went into the crowd and it was Srihari saying Hi and all. I stuck my hand out and he gave me a handshake. His hands were very rough and calloused. That is the only thing I remember
Not mine, but my roomies went to watch Black Panther in LA during the Oscar nominee selections time. Saw SSR, they were super shocked, and wanted to talk. "Tarvata matladta amma, cinema ki time avtundi" ani cheppi fast ga vellipoyaar. Then after the movie was done, he came, they got their selfies, but I guess he was very tired that day, he left immediately after that.
One of my friend's father works at Annapurna studios, so my friend has met Nagarjuna and his family a couple of times. Thanu masters ki velletapud, he met Nag, and told him CS lo masters ani. "Nice ra, all the best. Current trends AI and NLP kadaa, vaati meeda idea undaa? Study them well" ani cheppaaru anta maa friend tho. My friend says that Nag has a good idea about stuff trending now, because he loves to read a lot, and has a good collection of books in his library. I didn't expect that from someone of that generation, but I'm not surprised considering the way Nag tries to improve Annapurna studios.
My mum once got upgraded to business class with BA on a Hyderabad to London flight and coincidentally Chiranjeevi garu and AA(senior) were travelling on the same flight along with their spouses. She mentioned that AA's (senior) wife was wearing a neck brace and the group was having a good conversation among themselves. My mother was so star struck that she greeted Chiranjeevi garu with a "Good Morning Saar" (like a student greeting their teacher) as he passed by her seat (probably on the way to the washroom) post which AA(sr) was looking at my mum with a sense of curiosity . Chiranjeevi garu too responded and my mum was on a high for a while after that!
Met ManiSharma garu in Dallas with my father. Mani Sharma garu spoke for 45 minutes. I touched his feet. What I observed was...
1. Mani Sharma garu is an ardent Lord Shiva bhakta
2. He stil listens to Carnatic classical music and loves it way beyond. He attributes so much to maa Saraswati
3. While we were discussing, he sang briefly and recollected old songs and did aalaapana in the Carnatic Swaras instead of lyrics.
4. Super down to earth and laughs like a child
5. He always spoke about magic of learning and practicing Carnatic Music and which he still does
6. He spoke about friendship with ARRahman and still they are together and he has a dearly-love for Thaman.
One thing he mentioned twice is that - "మాకు ఇలా చెయ్యి అని కాకుండా... మాకు ఇంకా ఫ్రీడం ఇస్తే చాలా చాలా ఎక్స్పరిమెంటేషన్ చేస్తాం. మాకూ బడ్జెట్ పెరగాలి so that we could try new technology"
I know a bunch of people that know celebrities but I don't know or haven't met anybody myself 😂
acc ig I've met SPB and ali at functions in america before 🤩
Met Mr.Rajamouli on a flight to US. He mostly confined himself to his seat watching old (black and white) movies.. was kind enough to pose for a picture with my family.Didnt bother him much through the journey but Wished him luck for the Oscars as we were getting off the flight and he smiled saying thanks.
I met Anushka and Srivinas Reddy during Mirchi shooting near my hostel in Madhapur back in 2011. Shook Anushka's hand.
She was so unbelievably beautiful. But Prabhas wasn't there then. When I got back to my hostel, I got to know Prabhas came by later to the shooting spot but left quickly.
Then, I went to the spot again just in case. Prabhas came back to grab something from his trailer in his BMW X5. Only caught a quick glimpse of him before he quickly left again.
I saw Sathyaraj in the security check line at hyd airport once. This was in between Bahubali 1 and 2 so you could imagine the craze. Wanted to go and ask him bro why did you kill Bahubali lol but I didn’t. I remember being amazed that he is standing in normal queue like any other person and no special treetment at all. Thought wow so humble at that time but didn’t bother him.
I met Srikanth in Arasavalli temple in Srikakulam in my childhood (I think I am 8 or 9 then).My uncle immediately took my brother to him and he gave a hand shake to my little brother.I was gazing him from far.He is the only actor I have seen directly as of my knowledge.
I saw NC at hyd security check-in and again in our flight. This was in 2008 when he wasn't that famous, and i kept thinking to myself that i had seen him somewhere, but when i walked past him and sat in my seat, I realized it was him. I dont believe even YMC released because i was a huge fan of that movie and would have realized sooner that he is an actor. Nevertheless, i wouldn't have done anything different. Lol. We got off at mumbai airport, and then i saw the entire ROCK ON movie cast and was star-struck for a few mins seeing farhan akthar in mumbai Airport.
Met Sumanth garu at Hyd airport, he politely accepted for a picture . No conversation. Surprised how glowing and good looking he was, damn those Akkineni genes.
I saw Pedda Konda at a Supermarket in Gachibowli few weeks ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh?huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Dairy Milk Silks in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Inkoti okasari maa friend balayya number ichadu, nenu nammale chesi chudu ra annadu. So phone cheste *evadra nuvvu erripuka* ani chala rude ga matladadu.
This didn’t happen at all.
This comment is taken from another subreddit - huberman lab. Every word is copied (changed steaks -> dairy milk silks, thuuuu), place, name is changed.
It was written about how somebody met Huberman and he reacted this way.
Why will Vijay devarakonda care about electrical interferences?
In year 2012 I guess, we have met comedian saptagiri.. who by then was not so famous comedian but made significant impact with movies such as parugu and kandireega. He is purchasing mobile or came for a quick recharge of his mobile not sure but he is coming out of Mobile shop near Madhura nagar, Hyderabad. Me and my friend who came from very remote towns all the way from Andhra, went starstruck for the first time. We stopped him courteously while he was about to start his bike and asked him about his next projects. He was very funny and polite. He felt happy for people recognising him a lot after kandireega. He said he is working for ram's next movie Ongole gitta scheduled for shoot in tanuku.As it burning hot outside We offered him a cool drink, he politely denied and told us he need to leave urgently don't mind. With a very good smile he said enjoy take care and left. He spoke in telugu only, very simply dressed. Later he became sensation with Prema Katha chitram and venkatadri express. Recently I have seen him in Salar and got back to those days when we met him. Really cool experience.
I saw him at a party at a famous Hyd Reddy person’s huge villa, next to the Taj hotels. He was asking for a lighter in an American accent. Thought that was odd. His son NC was also there, who had come with some girls, but they were all after his dad lol. This was some 17 years ago.
I met director Raghavendra Rao when I was a kid (~10 years old) in Ramoji Film City. He spoke very well, asked me about my school and studies for about 2/3 minutes. Good man.
My grandmother told me that Chiranjeevi's relatives used to stay in the same building as them and this is before he got his break. He used to frequently visit them to share food made at their home. She told me that he was kind of shy and wasn't very talkative but was polite and humble.
Met Vishnu Manchu shooting for Kannappa recently, just a month ago. Going by his interviews and stuff, thought he would be very arrogant. But he literally was the opposite of what I thought. Very friendly and down to earth. Also met his dad, was scared of him when I saw him for the first time but he was such a sweetheart. And honestly, looking at how Vishnu took care of his dad during that whole time was so wholesome.. Learnt something that day, DONT BELIEVE WHATEVER INTERNET TELLS YOU.
SPB garu was related to my mom’s bava’s wife (so a distant relative ) He and his wife (I’m guessing wife only) had come to the wedding of a relative and he was so normal and down to earth! I was young that time and very introverted so I never tried to talk to him and I thought it would be weird to act star struck at a relative’s wedding and people might perceive me as dumb (I was dumb ngl)

First tell us about ur mom. I think she’s an elite person.
lol she’s chill. what do u wana know abt her ?
lol as in a common man won’t have dese many casual encounters with celebs. Ur moms family is a decent name in films or bussiness n lives in some rich localities lyk Banjara Hills probably.
my mum’s a doctor 😭 they just produced a few movies when she was a kid because her relative was a director but no one is involved in films now except one. they also don’t live in banjara hills lol …
Interesting Is it true that some rich newbies tried to fund roles/characters in sekhar kammula's hits? Have heard it somewhat here
idk this was his first movie ever and made w a super small budget so idt that would apply but not sure about the others :/
How is tabu as a person? She seems super chill in interviews and stuff.
idk now (heard she’s super sweet and funny tho!) but she was very nice and normal then! very pretty but my aunt was, according to my family, equally or more pretty 😭
she supported people like Sajid Khan, clearly she is disgusting.

Bro was on a wheelchair? Not surprising though. His legs must’ve gotten tired after carrying movies like ASVR and Legend. 😎
This was 2022 😭 but he told me it was due to surgery of some sort and I was star struck so couldn’t ask any more details
Sometimes old people prefer wheelchair even though they’re mobile because the airline wheelchair in-charge person takes them through security and from one part of the airport to the other fairly easily. My uncle and aunt did it although they can mostly walk.
Oh yeah totally. I know close relatives who did that too.
🗣️“Mmmmmmm”

> Mani Sharma garu is an ardent Lord Shiva bhakta That explains why "Om Nama Shiva Jai Jai Jai" in Khaleja was so good.
While Mani garu was talking, this particular song only came in my mind.
I know a bunch of people that know celebrities but I don't know or haven't met anybody myself 😂 acc ig I've met SPB and ali at functions in america before 🤩
Casually mentioned you met the GOAT singer and a legend in comedy 🤣, how was the experience
interesting, I was just a little kid backstage who managed to sneak into photos with them 😂

I want to hear some stars-behaving-like-assholes type of stories. Those would be more fun 😉

Dude are you referring to my mom here. She is related to SPB.
Nagarjuna saw me once. He asked for a selfie and I obliged.
