"Our teachers have scolded us, twisted our ears and taught us some significant lessons while shaping our personalities for life."
Bollywood actors, have played their part in immortalizing teachers on the silver screen. Though there might be numerous actors who have played the role of a teacher on screen, there are a handful few who have been extremely inspirational.
On the eve of Teacher's Day, we look at the Top 5 Teachers of Bollywood.
Amitabh Bachchan
- Debraj Sahai (Black)
- Narayan Shankar (Mohabbatein)
- Prabhakar Anand (Aarakshan)
Amitabh Bachchan has played the role of a teacher a number of times in his filmy career. His deep baritone voice and the respect his mere presence commands, make him the perfect choice for playing the role of a teacher. In the National Award winning film 'Black', Bachchan played the role of an eccentric teacher who creates magic when he succeeds in giving a deaf, dumb and blind girl a new lease of life through his teachings. In 'Mohabbatein' and 'Aarakshan', Bachchan is a strict disciplinarian who is high on morals.
Naseeruddin Shah
Whenever we think of teachers in Bollywood, Naseeruddin Shah's role as and in 'Sir' is definitely the first that plays in our minds. Naseeruddin Shah is a dream teacher who believes in having fun along with his students. Irrespective of the problems surrounding his personal life, 'Sir' goes out of his way to help his students resulting in all the students singing "We love you" in unison.
Shah Rukh Khan
- Raj Aryan Malhotra (Mohabbatein)
Shah Rukh Khan is a teacher who teaches his students to love instead of teaching regular and boring subjects. Though he is a music teacher, his speciality lies in decoding the various aspects of love and making his students realize it. The subject of love couldn't have found a better representative than SRK, the King of romance, himself.
Sushmita Sen
- Chandni Chopra (Main Hoon Na)
Can we ever think of a hotter Chemistry professor than Sushmita Sen in 'Main Hoon Na'? As Sush sashayed around the college campus in her uber sexy chiffons, her students cannot help but be mesmerized by her beauty. While she taught complicated chemical equations, the students, including Shah Rukh Khan, devised plans to strike up an equation of a different variety with her.
Aamir Khan
- Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Taare Zameen Par)
Aamir Khan's sensitive portrayal of a teacher who helps a dyslexic child to deal with his shortcomings, was a wonderful one. Aamir, as a teacher, was warm, compassionate and giving. He accepted children the way they were and sought to bring out the best in them. Through his role, Aamir made us all think how the world would have been a better place if all teachers were like that.
