Quite a few actors and actresses have played teachers in the movies but those who did had done it with utmost elan. Let's meet some of our on-screen mentors who has taught more than a lesson. Please pay heed...



Chemistry : While she puts up various chemical equations to her students, all SRK was worried about was his equation with Madame Sen in 'Mai Hoon Na'. Whoever thought chemistry is dull and complicated will fall in love with chemistry after watching Miss Chandni Chopra in the movie because In a sensational class you won't realize how time passed.

Village teacher : For all those who haven't had the privilege of encountering such a hot teacher, maybe its time to get back to school. No matter how hard Gayatri Joshi tried to portray a non-glam teacher in 'Swades' she managed to have SRK fall for her.

Cricket coach : Taking a deaf and dumb boy into his wings and training him for the game of cricket is a real challenge. Acting as a mentor for a boy to become a good cricketer in 'Iqbal', Naseeruddin Shah's acting is praiseworthy. Not to forget his wonderful character of a teacher in Sir. We salaam you Sir!

Sign-Language : The best teacher teach from the heart and not the book. And this experience the deaf-dumb-blind Rani Mukherji got to learn by spending time with her teacher Amitabh Bachchan in 'Black' and accomplished her dream of becoming a musician. We also praise Rani over here to be an earnest student throughout.

Drawing and Art : Aamir is one perfect teacher who changes the perception of a teacher-student relationship through 'Taare Zameen Par'. Ram Shankar Nikumbh didn't mind converting the classroom into a playground and exuding compassion towards a dyslexic child. Sad we didn't have teacher like him in our school days.
