The only movie celebrity that I've ever met:
Amitabh in 1996 at Zurich airport, also got his initials on the back of a (non-related) photograph as there was no other notebook / paper on hand while waiting on the gate. It was like a smilie, similar to the one the person at Sam's club gate draws on your receipt, with "AB" in it 
He walked into the waiting area, all alone with a cap and just a backpack. (There were hush-hush comments from other passengers that he has probably come to deposit money for RG family in swiss banks).
This guy was calm, cool, standing for pictures with anyone who asked etc. He was in the same flight to Bombay, but different class (obviously).
Other artists I've seen :
My dad took us to the town to "show" us MGR during childhood, when he was visting for an election campaign. It was from a distance, he was riding slowly on an open jeep, with his typical thoppi / goggle / thuNdu attire and kumbidufying all the way.
What was surprising to me as a child was that the crowd was much less than what came the prior day when we were "shown" Karunanidhi in the same town. There was lot of cheering when he stepped out of his car and waved.
(At that time, both were in the same party and came for the same campaign, mukA was CM and MGR was the HOD for state savings dept). I've never seen MGR in person again, though I've been to a whole speech by mukA on another occasion at midnight, this time as a teen ager, while visiting Madurai for a match. (The drill master was a DMK fanatic and took the "willing players" with him to this speech, after dinner). His speech was thoroughly enjoyable, though he and MGR were arch rivals by this time.
When I was at CBE airport entrance to send off a french engineer in 1991, a lion - with grey hair dhAdi and powerful eyes - emerged fast out of the door - Shivaji Ganesan. He stylishly wished (military salute, raising the hand, dropping vertically like "cut" and moving horizontally) while rushing to the parking lot. Still that shot is in my mind
I've seen Sarathkumar riding a horse (for a shooting probably) in a Bangalore road on another occasion, while I was waiting for the signal, sitting in an auto.
I don't remember seeing any other movie artist in person.

Ramarajan - Used to be our next door neighbour between 2002-2005. While I was away, was told that he moved back to his hometown somewhere near Madurai/Dindugul area. Have spoken to him several times whenever I was in town. Very simple, down to earth person. Unfortunately, his fortune took a complete "U turn" after losing his MP post. Truly sad, it is.

Note that the female artistes in the list are adhisaya, swarnamalya and uma padmanabhan only(discounting the possibility of isha koppikar)

Thanks, Joe. Padam hit-a?
As for me, nothing special about mine. A few years back, I was at the Indian embassy republic day dinner function, representing a defence magazine. Saw YG Mahendran, thought it was him, haven't seen him on screen for long time. So, I just got closer, see if he is who he is. But on seeing the dollar (or locket) on his chain, with NT's face on him, I knew that was him. I spoke to him, said that it was NT that confirmed who he was, he said, "Of course, avar kalaignarukkellam theivam". He was down for some special play staging. He asked about my profession and that's about it. He was more focussed on piling sticks of Satay on his plate.
