1. Met Boman Irani at Dubai airport last year, saw all desis there (airport staff and travellers) were taking selfies with him so I approached him too and asked for a selfie, he obliged at once. He was in a wheelchair (had a back operation in Dubai he told staff there) Since I wasnt getting the correct angle for selfie he took my phone and clicked 3 selfies with me. Boman is very nice, polished, gentleman-like, I was impressed by his behavior
2. Met Rakhee a long time ago at North American Bengali Conference, went up to her and asked for her autograph, she obliged with a smile
3. Saw Divya Bharti shooting for a South Indian song with Saroj Khan at Ooty Botanical Gardens in the early 90s, this was just 6 months before her tragic death
4. Met Aparna Sen at a chaat shop in Kolkata in the late 80s, she was with her 2nd husband Mukul Sharma and daughter Konkona (who was a little girl back then) ...I looked at her, she looked back at me, but I didnt ask her for autograph as she was with her family and I didnt want to disturb their family time
5. Saw Aparna Sen again, also director Rituparno Ghosh, Manna Dey, Sharmila Tagore, Soumitra Chatterjee from close quarters, and many other Bengali celebs, actors, singers at various NA Bengali Conferences throughout the last 2 decades
6. Saw Abir Chatterjee, Jishu Sengupta, Rituparna, and many other Bengali actors up close and personal at the premier of Rajkahini at 2016 NYC Bengali Conference ...I clicked their pics but didnt ask for selfies
