No. Falling stars do exist, but they are not actually stars. Meteors, as they are properly called, are small pieces of rock falling from space.

Do shooting stars collide with other stars?
Shooting stars are not stars. They are bits of dirt and dust that burn up in our atmosphere.

Were such a piece of dirt to head toward a star, it would burn up long before it got anywhere close to it, so it could not hit it.

Why you have shooting star?
When meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere they experience friction due to collisions with the atmosphere; by the time they reach 50 to 75 mi (80-120 km) from the earth's surface, they have been heated to incandescence through friction and are visible as "shooting stars," or "falling stars." ...
What is the difference between a shooting star and a falling star?
Asteroids are large pieces of rock, many big enough to be considered to be small planets. Shooting star is an incorrect name for a meteor. They have nothing to do with stars. They are small pieces of rock or dust that burn up in our atmosphere as they go through it. We seem them as something streaking across the sky in seconds.
