Quite a few people back in India:

A former Prime Minister
A former Union Home Minister
A former Union Railways (and later Sports) Minister
A former State Director General of Police (he was actually famous as a "super-cop")
Several Members of Parliament
Several state-level politicians
A handful of sports personalities, mostly cricket
A couple of music entertainers

They are all famous in India, but probably not internationally (even if so, I am pretty sure it wouldn't always be for the right reasons ). My parents had quite a few political connections back when we were growing up. None of these people would recognize me (probably the DGP would) unless I told them who my parents were.

Where's my cookie?

all we have is curry

:laugh: You should be so lucky....

Your parents must have money, where do you live?

They did, but not any more. See, it's kind of related. You get to know politicians personally only when you have money and then when you know them long enough you no longer have any. True story!

My list is similar:
I know the ex-mayor of my town back at home, personally.
M parents knew lots of people in the government as well.

Obviously, in India.
