On September 5th every year, we pay tribute to Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. But did you know that B-town celebs like Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani worked as teachers before entering into showbiz?
Today’s date, September 5th, holds great significance in the history of India. It’s the day when we remember the greatest statesman, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, our country has ever produced. To pay tribute to his contributions and achievements, his birth anniversary is celebrated as Teacher’s Day in India. But did you know? Before putting their first step into the Hindi film industry, many Indian celebs also ventured into teaching?
Akshay Kumar was a martial art teacher
Apart from being an ace actor, Akshay Kumar is known for being a fitness freak and a sports enthusiast. Before venturing into showbiz, Kumar used to teach martial arts. After finishing his high school education, Kumar’s dad sent him to Bangkok, Thailand to learn martial arts. He was there for five years learning Thai Boxing. The black belt in Taekwondo then took up many odd jobs in multiple cities across India before he finally returned to Bombay and started teaching martial arts.
Kiara Advani was a playschool teacher
Kiara Advani is today one of the finest actresses in Bollywood. We saw her playing the role of a school teacher in the anthology show Lust Stories. But the fact is that she actually was a playschool teacher before becoming an acclaimed actor. The Kabir Singh actor used to work as a teacher at Bird’s Play playschool in Mumbai where her mother was the headmistress.
