Can some one please identify this plant. Does this belong to genus Stellaria by any chance.

Yes … my belief too … it belongs to Stellaria … could be Stellaria media.
Have got some views at http://www.flickr.com/search/?&w=91314344@N00&m=&q=Stellaria%20media … but the anthers in my plants are not yellow.
Please wait for comment(s),

Stellaria for sure, but not S. media. It could be S. graminea.

After further critical study … plant is more likely S. palustris (syn: S. glauca), because S. graminea generally has smaller petals.

I think Stellaria palustris
