Miracles do happen, and dreams do come true!
Sometimes we wish for something, and we get it. Other times we work relentlessly towards a particular goal and don’t stop until we achieve it. But sometimes we randomly board onto a plane not knowing that we will run into our most favourite celebrity. How awesome is that? While this may have not necessarily happened with you or me, it did happen to this one particular girl who ran into Timothée Chalamet!
So, let’s take a look!
Meet Alankrutha Giridhar, the legendary IT professional and a big Timothée Chalamet fan!
Alankrutha Giridhar
Alankrutha recently bumped into Timothee Chalamet.
Y’all nbd just sat next to @RealChalamet on a 3 hour flight and we CHATTED FOR AN HOUR NBD I AM SUPER CALM RIGHT NOW AS EVERYONE CAN TELL

So she decided to document the whole flight experience afterwards.
SO I enter the flight and see a tall, lanky dude in front of me wearing a hoodie and both of us are the only ones w/o overhead space to keep our bags and I look up to see an actual angel and alarm bells in my head go off immediately pic.twitter.com/xVXEwcrdGk

It looks like he was playing along.
flight takes off and head is exploding bc I *had* to know who this dude so 30 mins into the flight, I work up the courage and nudge him and ask “hey you look exactly like timothee Chalamet” to which he smiles and says “I GET THAT A LOT” pic.twitter.com/SaEpjOqOBE

But Alankrutha wasn’t ready to give up just yet.
So I figured he didn’t want to be disturbed and things I did in the process- ate a sandwich, peed twice, kept stealing glances at him and 1.5 hours in, he asked me when the flight was going to land and I couldn’t hold it in and said “I KNOW U R TIMOTHEE” pic.twitter.com/fixN4Z9X4G

AHA! She was right!
HE LAUGHED AND SAID “AYYY YES IT IS, HI I AM TIMOTHEE” and shook my hands and at this point I was basically shook/ stunned and I couldn’t process anything pic.twitter.com/nYXovxWM4s

Its obvious she couldn’t contain her excitement, so she did what anyone in her place would’ve done; asking him about everything.
List of actual questions my dumb bitch mind asked him that he answered super patiently:
1. Why are you sitting in economy class (he laughed and said how dare you)
2. Have you met Beyoncé (he has not)
3. How is Steve carrell (he said he’s amazing and offered to FaceTime him!!)— Alankrutha (@alankruthahaha) February 5, 2019
And it gets even better.
List of words that escaped my mouth:
1: I googled your height
2. Pls see my friend’s (@amyoosed)twitter dp, it is ur face
3. I have stalked ur Wiki page (got a hi 5 for this)
4. Are u going to the oscars
5. Your introductory scene in lady bird kills me tho ur a D bag in it— Alankrutha (@alankruthahaha) February 5, 2019
She is definitely lucky…woah.
What shocks me the most is this dude wanted to know about me. He asked me what I do, what project management is about (literally who cares timothee), where I grew up and PRONOUNCED MY NAME RIGHT pic.twitter.com/Z57pj2T2SS
— Alankrutha (@alankruthahaha) February 5, 2019
This is so sweet.
And all his questions were super sincere and genuine and he KEPT high fiving/ friendly nudging and while my heart was exploding, I also spoke to him like I would to a friend only bc he made me feel so comfortable! pic.twitter.com/7vQhTQjItD

All of this must’ve given her the adrenaline rush.
The flight landed, we spoke for a bit about his upcoming films, he wished me luck for my career (Idc about my career at this point) and also told me I was the *only* one in his entire journey who recognised him and asks if I want a pic and I oblige graciously w/o any frills pic.twitter.com/NMGjKVKvDQ
— Alankrutha (@alankruthahaha) February 5, 2019
You never know it!
MORAL OF THE STORY- if you work hard enough and never leave your house, you might stumble upon @RealChalamet on a flight and proceed to ask him who the most famous celeb on his phone is. *THE END*
— Alankrutha (@alankruthahaha) February 5, 2019
It was a journey worth remembering.
Major things I forgot to mention:
1. When the stewardess offered him flight pretzels & orange juice, he scarfed them down in < 20 secs like he hadn’t eaten in 48 hours
2. He asked if I was expecting him to be taller or shorter- I said shorter (shut up @ me)
3. He loves easy A— Alankrutha (@alankruthahaha) February 5, 2019
I think we all would have done the same.
Right when I was trying to figure out if he was indeed Timothee I panicked and texted my friends + VERY SLYLY listened to the OST of Call Me by Your name hoping he would notice (I don’t think he did but I had to try) lmaoooo pic.twitter.com/Ge9NfqJ8HN
— Alankrutha (@alankruthahaha) February 5, 2019
And of course, the mandatory selfie!
Idk how one can be this terrible at taking selfies but look out world here I come. Anyway idc just look at his face, this experience has been beautiful and he’s a very nice person (and we might be friends but idkkkkk) pic.twitter.com/yhdEF08pUz

So what’s the moral? It’s always to stay hopeful because if today its Alankrutha tomorrow it can be you!

It certainly was an amazing journey, and we thank Alankrutha for sharing it with us. Cheers!
