Strange, weird, frightening — TV stars recount various such experiences with their fans
Ram Kapoor
Recently I was literally caught with my jockeys in my hand. I was checking out some underwears at a shopping mall when a group of girls spotted me and mobbed me. It was very embarrassing and a rather uncomfortable experience for me. I guess I'll never forget that.
Rakshanda Khan
I had gone to visit one of my male friends at his place some time back. His neighbour's kids couldn't contain their excitement on seeing me. They finally barged into his house and got themselves introduced and asked for my autograph. But they also dropped in at some unearthly hour at his place in the night to meet me as they thought I was living there with my friend. Now that was something else!
Parmeet Sethi
Once Archana and I had gone out. Suddenly one fan came out of nowhere and kissed me when I was completely unaware. Doing that, she ran away and we just couldn't locate her. Of course it was a little weird. Thankfully, my wife was cool about it and in fact was flattered too.
Gurdeep Kohli
Recently, I had a very frightening experience. There was this girl who kept saying that she was my sister—that is Dr Juhi's sister ('Sanjeevani') and insisted on meeting me. The police called me up and I was very disturbed. Later, it came to light that she was just a fan who wanted to meet me.
Mazhar Sayyed
There is this lady who keeps calling me up and giving me advice. She is so connected to my show 'Saat Phere' that she advises me on my reel-life behaviour. She is sympathetic towards me because I always get vamps as my wives ( even in 'Kaahin Kissi Roz').
Shilpa Saklani
This fan was one of the organisers of stage shows and had approached me for it. But I was unable to do it for some reason. But the guy just wouldn't stop hounding me with his calls. If I didn't receive his calls, he would leave lewd messages on the answering machine in the middle of the night. I was so fed up with him that I finally had to take the help of the police to get rid of him.
Tasneem Sheikh
There was this crazy guy who used to send me love messages. He would often call late at night and say weird things like that he wouldn't allow me to marry my fiance. This really scared me. Finally, I spoke about this incident to a tabloid and even gave the cell number from which he would call. Thankfully, thereafter he hasn't called.
