Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 5 : Every year, Teacher’s Day is celebrated on September 5. It’s a day dedicated to teachers and the role they play in shaping their students’ lives.

The day commemorates the birth anniversary of scholar and Bharat Ratna recipient Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was born on this day in 1888.

He was the first Vice President of the independent India (1952–1962). He was also the second President of India from 1962 to 1967.

The bond that every student shares with their mentors is always special, as our teachers are the ones who show us the right direction. And when it comes to showcasing the student-teacher bond, Bollywood is no less.

Over the years, several filmmakers have made films that beautifully showcased this bond. Take a look.
