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 memories is Sonali, who studied with Divya Dutta.
Divya Dutta was my senior in school and my house captain. I remember arguing with her a couple of times as she used to be very strict about school duties. She was a regular in school functions and would participate many co-curricular activities. I remember her Haryanvi dance very well.
Later, she moved to Mumbai to participate in the Stardust talent show. I don't remember if she won but next, I saw her in movies.
I really liked her in Train To Pakistan and Veer Zaara. I am proud of the fact that she has made a name for herself and made our school and city famous.
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?
