We asked readers to tell us if they had grown up or studied with movie or television celebrities. And we got a great response!
Sharing her experiences is Shilpa Chitnis, who knew Sonali Bendre in her childhood.

Sonali's cousin Milind and I lived in the same housing society and were best buddies. Sonali would visit Milind's family along with her sisters, and we would all get together and play. Usually, the girl cousins would end up in our house to spend the night.
I recall Sonali as a sweet, bubbly and fun girl. She is very friendly. My sister meets her occasionally at family functions. I spoke to her a few years ago when her uncle was recuperating from heart surgery. She was still the same Sonu with the sweet voice and she spoke to me like she did in our younger days.
Her son seems to look just like her husband Goldie (Behl, the film director), who, according to family sources, is a great guy. I am happy for Sonali!
Grew up with a star in the same neighbourhood? Studied with them in school? Had a star friend in college? Hung out at the canteen together? Bunked classes? Maybe even hit on the same pretty people?
What were they like? What did you think of them then? Did you ever foresee their success?
We look forward to hearing from you!
