Let’s admit this once and for all, without teachers, we wouldn’t have achieved even half of what we have today. Every teacher who has taught us made sure we know life in ways that are not highlighted in reading books. Now, playing the role of a teacher is tough, but some Bollywood actors have clearly been able to portray this difficult role pretty well.
While we speak of it, providing you with examples is extremely important. Let us now discuss the roles of some of the Bollywood actors who have been able to be the example of a brilliant teacher in front of millions of audience:
Rani Mukherji In ‘Hichki’ (2018)

After a long gap, Rani Mukherji was back with a movie where she played the role of a teacher with Tourette syndrome. As usual, Rani Mukherji slayed the role, but what caught our eyes in the brilliant scripting of the movie which showed how the character of Rani slowly developed her illness into her strength which led her to become the best teacher eventually. We salute a strong teacher!
Ritesh Deshmukh In ‘F.A.L.T.U.’ (2011)

Without principal Bajirao, the movie wouldn’t have been the success that it is. While the movie clearly asks us to settle our future, having the role of a principal like Bajirao was an added advantage for the movie in regards to its plot.
Shahid Kapoor In ‘Paathshaala’ (2010)

Shahid Kapoor’s role as ‘Rahul’ in ‘Paathshaala has been very promising. He brings out all the wrong happenings that has been going on in the school thus educating the audience that schools like these exist in the real world, and the teachers need to stand up for their students before it’s too late.
Aamir Khan In ‘Taare Zameen Par’ (2007)

All of us have cried while watching this movie! If it wasn’t for Aamir Khan’s beautiful role as a teacher who finally brings out the best from an autistic student, the movie would be incomplete. Thankfully, Aamir’s fun role could touch on the graver concept of the movie and bring out the best of it.
Movies create role models, and these roles have been the best examples of teachers for many aspiring teachers and also, students. Happy Teachers Day to all the wonderful mentors out there!
