Bollywood celebs express gratitude to their teachers, say ‘Thank You’

On the occasion of Teacher’s Day, Bollywood celebrities shared heartfelt gratitude to their mentors, thanking their teachers for the guidance and love.
From an engineering student to a National Award winning actor, Kriti Sanon has come a long way in her journey ever since this Delhi girl made her debut in the industry, just nine years ago.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Kriti shared a collage of throwback pictures with her mother and wrote: “From being my first teacher to my forever cheerleader Happy Teacher’s Day Mom.”
Kriti’s school teacher also sent a message for the actress on the occasion of Teacher’s Day about how proud they all are of their alumna.
The video shared by Kriti shows her teacher saying: “Hey Kriti, we are so proud of you. What a wonderful achievement to get a National Award for your film Mimi. We, at DPS RK Puram have always known that you were going to create a niche for yourself in the film world. In school, I remember in Class 6, what a wonderful dancer you were, and always occupying the centre stage.”
“And when I became your class teacher in 11th, I realised that not only were you a wonderful dancer, you were so academically oriented – one of our toppers, a great speaker and a great writer and you were a part of the poetry club as well, and the student council. It was always so evident that you will create a niche in your future life, doing engineering, going to the world of films and reaching here, at this point, getting the National Award. Congratulations to you, from all of us and all the best,” added Kriti’s teacher.
Sara Ali Khan expressed gratitude for her directors for teaching and training her as an actor.
Sharing a collage with directors she has worked till date — Aanand L Rai, Rohit Shetty, Imtiaz Ali, Abhishek Kapoor, Laxman Utekar, David Dhawan–, Sara said: “I feel that as an actor it’s most important to always be a student- and to keep learning and unlearning on every set. From Rohit Sir’s masala commercial cinema, to the sensitivity of Aanand Rai and the mass appeal of Laxman Sir to the quirky and unique story telling of Homi sir.”
“I’m very privileged and thoroughly grateful to have had such versatile experiences. I hope I can continue leaning and growing and entertaining my audiences under the guidance of my directors,” she added.
Rajkummar Rao wrote on Instagram Stories: “Happy Teacher’s Day. A Big Thank you to all my teachers.”
Rakul Preet Singh said: “A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers who spend their time, energy, and love to educate our children. Happy Teachers’ Day!” (IANS)
