Iconic Bollywood Teachers Who’ll Make You Wish You’d Gotten When You Graduated

Traversing all genres, Bollywood has undeniably given a fair to share to the educational system of India. Taking into account the different iconic personalities, it has portrayed all the sides in and around education. And while the story unfolds, we observe the actors and actresses playing an eminent role in order to bring out the real twist in the movies. No wonder, each one of them has given us goals but at the same time, they have left us pondering as to why we weren’t a part of their classroom.

Iconic Bollywood Teachers Who’ll Make You Wish You’d Gotten When You Graduated

1. Sushmita Sen, Main Hoon Na

Considered as the hottest teacher in the history of Bollywood, Miss Chandni has set the equations of the subject Chemistry on fire. Beautiful, talented, there can be no denying she is like a wish come true for every student.

2. Aamir Khan, Taare Zameen Par

Understanding the odds and exploring the unusual beyond the usual is what Aamir Khan is famous for. And likewise, deploying his skills while understanding a helpless, dyslexic eight-year-old Ishaan, he stands as a role model to all the teachers and parents out there.

3. Amitabh Bachchan Black, and Mohabbatein

Big B essayed two completely opposite roles in both of the movies. In Mohabbatein, he was a true authoritative figure, a patriarch of Gurukal preaching students to live life-based on discipline whereas Debraj Sahai in Black, he instilled life in a blind and a deaf girl.

4. Shahrukh Khan, Chak De India and Mohabbatein

As Kabir Khan or as Raj Aryan Malhotra, Shahrukh Khan paved the righteous path for the girls of National Women’s Hockey Team in Chak De India and for the students in Gurukul in Mohabbatein. As a visionary coach and as a turmoiled lover, he made us see the reality in a much better way!

5. Amole Gupte, Stanley Ka Dabba

It was a delight to watch Amole Gupte as Verma, gorging after the delicious Dabba of Stanley. There’s no doubt his ravenousness made us laugh, learn, and grow impeccably.

6. Rishi Kapoor, Do Dooni Char

Riding a scooter at the age of 55, the life of a middle-class teacher still thriving to pay bills timely is well portrayed by Rishi Kapoor. How the bribe system is taking over the basic needs and how struggling it gets for a teacher, he made us watch the other side of a teacher’s life.

7. Rani Mukerji, Hichki

Naina Mathur has definitely left everyone wishing if they could be a part of the St. Notker's School. Suffering from Tourette syndrome, she still surpasses every obstacle that came her way and served the students and the school dedicatedly.

8. Archana Pooran Singh, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

An epitome of love and progressive, Mrs. Briganza aka Archana made us believe in the beauty of romance where one is never too old to be flirtatious and all lovey-dovey.

9. Shahid Kapoor, Paathshala

A multi-talented actor, Shahid was an English teacher, a  musician, and a revolutionary. Portraying the role perfectly, he made learning easier and left every girl awestruck.

10. Juhi Chawla, Chalk n Duster

Jyoti Thakur along with Vidya (Shabana Azmi) is the revolutionary examples of teaching as their continuous struggle to impart moral values in kids and the newly appointed wicked principal is worth applauding.

11. Booman Irani, Munna Bhai MBBS, and 3 Idiots

A true face of Indian education system, Booman as Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe and as Dr. Asthana became the prime leader who stood firmly against the freedom of a student to love and make career choices accordingly.

12. Aishwariya Rai Bachchan, Shabd

As a teacher and a beloved wife, Antara with her gorgeousness and her inborn talent is still able to win hearts wherever she goes.

13. Chitrangada Singh, Desi Boyz

Captivatingly beautiful, Chitrangada was a true self with whom all of us fell head over heels and hasn’t recovered yet.

14. Kareena Kapoor, Kurbaan

Kareena Kapoor as Avantika Ahuja, a teacher, and a loving wife made us explore how dangerous a world can be and how her innocence made her a pawn in a game of terrorists.

These Bollywood teachers remind us of the invaluable role educators play in shaping our lives. As Teachers' Day approaches, it's the perfect opportunity to express our gratitude with meaningful Teachers Day gifts.
