Happy Teachers Day: Aamir Khan in Taare Zameen Par to Sushmita Sen in Main Hoon Na; 8 Bollywood teachers who remind us of our school time

Each year on September 5th, we celebrate Teacher’s Day to show appreciation for the profound impact our educators have on our lives. This day also serves as a tribute to the birth of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Throughout the years, Bollywood has created unforgettable teacher characters that often resonate with us and bring back memories of our own teachers, don’t they?

Let’s give you examples. For the ones who had a female teacher walking in beautiful organza sarees in the school building, it might have reminded you of Sushmita Sen’s character Ms. Chandni from Main Hoon Na. Right?
