Teacher’s Day 2019: Shashank Vyas to Angad Hasija; TV actors talk about their favorite teachers

There is no particular person in my life who is my teacher. I commit mistakes and I learn from it. My gut feeling is my teacher and I follow my heart. I have my own set of problems and nobody is going to face them on my behalf. So you fall and get up and grow in life. Photo: Instagram

I have been lucky that all my teachers in my school in Chandigarh liked me and I liked all my teachers. I was the most simple and innocent child in the class. I was always inclined towards arts and drawing so my teachers liked me. Photo: Instagram

My favorite teachers were those I had in school. In school, I had one teacher, who initially taunted me so much, but later on, she was the one who has suggested me to go into modeling and acting. Her name is Mrs. Bharadawaaj Ma'am. She was the oldest in the school and was very strict too! But those words of her I took it in my heart forever. Photo: Instagram

I don’t have anyone who I treat like my teacher. Life is my teacher and with time I have learned so much. I take all the good qualities from people I know, somewhere I learn from each and everybody. I read, I watch, I talk and I learn from each and everybody. I don't have anybody special. I learn from people I meet. I appreciate everybody and learn from them. I don't have an idol particularly, everybody has flaws and I try to take the positive points from people. Photo: Instagram

Shiamak Davar is my favorite teacher. He taught me to dance really well. He taught me many things about life and he was there to guide me in my problems. A teacher is one who teaches you to face any problem in life and he helped me whenever I needed any help. Photo: Instagram

My favorite teacher at my college was AD Arora sir. I had taken up non-medical science but I failed and then I took Arts. AD Arora was the one who shaped my career. My father had made me take up science and he taught me physics. He always told me that I should be doing arts and not science and that I was an artist and not someone who would become a scientist. He made my father understand and convinced him to involve me in dramatics and let me pursue acting. He also made me aware of NSD and also guided me through my theatre career. This won't be a big deal if I said that whatever I am today is because of him, I am still in touch with him. He has been my true guru in real sense. Photo: Instagram

My favorite teacher is Miss Rashmeet, she used to teach accounts in school and she knew that I always wanted to be an actor. I was always supported and motivated by her. In school, so many people used to laugh at my aims but she always had faith in me and my dream. Photo: Instagram

My favorite teacher in my school days was the housekeeping staff of my school. Whenever I felt tired or didn't want to participate in studies or activities due to exertion, I used to get inspired by observing them. They came before us in school, left after us and worked harder than us, without any complaints and always had a constant smile on their faces. Till date, when I feel exhausted I take my motivation from them. Photo: Instagram

My favorite teacher in school was Kamal ji sir. He was so positive and his teachings were so rare. Plus, his looks were to die for. His way of teaching was so different that we would all wait for his period to come excitedly. Photo: Instagram
