Hrithik Roshan

While it’s well known that Hrithik enjoys talking to his fans on social media, whether it’s responding to their messages or even promoting budding talent, the superstar’s relatability and humility is also seen in his actual interactions with them. Talking about an interaction with Hrithik, said a fan, “Few years ago, at Delhi airport, a tall handsome guy surrounded by guards was walking towards me, he smiled and the first thought that crossed my mind, “how strange?” He kept smiling n walked past me. 2 mins later, it clicked n I screamed,”oh sh*t Hrithik Roshan.” I was mortified.”

The superstar also had another chivalrous fan story – as another fan mentioned, “One time I overfilled my shopping cart in a supermarket & it was stuck in the ridge of the lift. I struggled, a tall man in a hoodie came out of the lift, helped push the cart inside. I thanked, I looked, Hrithik Roshan smiled away.”

Mumtaaz

Recounting an incident of how down to earth yesteryear actress Mumtaaz was, recounts a fan, “I was raising funds for a charity and was visiting some donors in London, a yesteryear star called Mumtaaz, was married to one of them. Didn’t expect her to come out of her room to say hi to us. When I was tongue tied, she said, “I am quite ordinary off screen, you know”

Dev Anand

Another interesting story around cinema legend Dev Anand. “At TV Today, I was asked to rush to the Assignment Desk. Dev Anand was on the line and wanted me to fly down to Bombay to audition for a film. He must have easily been 90 then. I still remember him asking me to write down his address, ‘Zig Zag Road, Pali Hill.’ No, I didn’t go.”

Prabhu Deva

Another fan had an adorable story to share around Prabhu Deva, “On an early morning Indigo flight from Hyderabad to Chennai. Actor Prabhu was next to me. He was sweet, asked what I was doing and he said he was returning after filming a Kalyan jewelers shoot. Then the two of us, slept head against head for the entirety of the flight. The end.”

Tell me the strangest interaction you've had with a celebrity.

South star Dulquer Salman pulled a reverse card on a fan. He posted, “Saw @dulQuer at an airport restaurant and after exchanging a few glances chumma went to say hi to him and he said “do I know you from somewhere?
