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 his memories is Dr Sumeet Sukhi, who studied in the same school as Jimmy Shergil.

I studied with Jimmy Shergill at the Punjab Public School, Nabha (Punjab) in the mid-1980s.
Jasjit (his official name) was an introvert and a dignified guy. He didn't speak much and was courteous to the girls.
He wore a turban then. Because of his aquiline features and good looks, he was better known in our school as Smarty. He was average in his studies and one of the few laidback guys.
I wish him luck in all his endeavours.
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?
