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 Rufaida Javid, who studied with the late Nafisa Joseph.
Nafisa Joseph (Miss India Universe 1997) was my senior at Bishop Cotton's Girls High School, Bangalore.
She was in the 12th grade (arts section) at that time, and was part of the school choir. She always hung around with a large group of friends.
She was an average student and did not participate in extra-curricular activities.
I guess most of us didn't know she was a model until we saw her in the Miss India contest. She was just out of school then.
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?
