Teacher’s Day is observed on September 5 every year. The day celebrates educators everywhere for the profound impact they have on the lives of their students. Teacher’s Day marks the anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a scholar and Bharat Ratna awardee. He was born on this day in 1888. He served as India’s second president from 1962 to 1967 after previously serving as the country’s first Vice President from 1952 to 1962.
Every student’s relationship with their mentor is significant and unique, as our teachers are the ones who point us in the right direction. Bollywood is not any less adept at depicting the special relationship that develops between a teacher and a student. Throughout the years, several directors have created films that exquisitely depict this connection on screen. Have a look.
