Most of my "seeings" of stars happened in the Hyderabad airport on various occasions
Madhavan, last december, thannathaniyA, he was checking in just before me in the line. Until the counter clerk recognised him, I didnt realise it was him. Very casual.

Prithviraj @Babloo(ivan star-A?) various times in the Hyd airport. remba peter vuduvAn, scene pOduvAn

Prabhudeva - I actually travelled next seat to him from Hyd to Chennai. It was on the day my father expired, and I was rushing to Chennai so obviously, I wasnt in any mood to fuss over him. I noticed at a side glance that he was fussing over a X-ananda saamiyar types sitting on the other side of him. Sort of shows why such saamiyars have market.

Ramya Krishnan - in Chennai and Hyd airports a few times.
Hariharan with his pony tail in Delhi airport.

Aged around 11-12, I attended a launch of a movie starring ilayathilagam, just after kanni raasi, I think, and was directed by a Pandiarajan assistant, named Shanmugharajan, I think. Dont remember the movie name. All I can remember is that he was...MASSIVE! My sister actually wondered aloud "evLO gundA irukkAr". He heard it, but took it in his stride, patted my sister and said "romba chutti poNNu!"

The crowning glory was a wedding reception in AVM Rajeswari mandapam - when around 10 years of age, I think - Kamal, NT, MGR and Rajni all passed by. Remember people around me trying to pinch MGR as he passed by - "evLO segappA irukkAr". Kamal was short and stocky, I remember, being very unimpressed. Managed just a glimpse of NT, and caught Rajni puffing away.

Then there was SV Sekar, whom we met backstage during a drama performance of his. It was kaadhula poo or kattula mazhai, cant remember which - the one which has dhoomaketu and bheemaketu. I rememberr those names because, in what seems to be a theme of my star-or-non-star-sightings, I caught them puffing away backstage in-between performances, and remember wondering aloud "ivangallAm yamanOda dhoodhargal dhaane, epdi cigarette pidikkaraangga". To which Sekar quipped "EmpA chinna pasanga munnAdi maanatha vaangadhIngappA".
