Newz Daddy Entertainment Updates
Gurmeet Choudhary, as seen on COLORS ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check, says, “My daughters, Lianna and Divisha, teach me life’s biggest lessons through their smallest gestures. Every innocent smile, curious question, and even their adorable tantrums have taught me invaluable lessons about love, patience, and finding wonder in everyday moments. Debinna, my life partner and greatest mentor, has shown me what it means to love unconditionally and stand strong through life’s storms. She’s taught me the art of giving without expecting anything in return and finding strength in vulnerability. Even during our journey on ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check,’ we continue discovering new facets of each other, proving that learning and growth never truly end. This Teacher’s Day, I realise that my home has become my most important classroom, and my family members are the teachers who continuously shape my heart and soul.”
Family often becomes the most natural school of life. Many studies show that children, through their behaviour, curiosity, and innocence, teach adults empathy and patience. Parenting experts also highlight how young children remind adults to appreciate small joys, such as laughter and exploration. In Gurmeet’s case, his daughters represent that innocent perspective. His mention of Debina mirrors how a strong life partner often doubles as a life teacher, offering lessons in resilience, trust, and unconditional love. This is also a reminder of how modern relationships are spaces of mutual learning.
Deepika Singh essaying the role of Mangal in COLORS’ ‘Mangal Lakshmi’ says, “Teacher’s Day reminds me that learning often comes from the most unexpected places. But to me, the journey of learning feels incomplete without thanking our parents, who are our very first teachers. They instil values, discipline, and a lens through which we see the world. I owe a great deal to my school teachers and to my joint family for shaping the person I am today. From my father, I inherited a ‘never quit’ spirit, and from my husband Rohit, I learned the art of feeling every dialogue. These lessons have helped me bring truth and vulnerability to my character in Mangal Lakshmi. My greatest teachers have always been my parents and family. Today, even my son Soham teaches me patience and willpower. In fact, everyone around me, through their words, actions, or simply their presence, adds something to my learning, and for that, I remain grateful.”
Psychologists often point out that family is the first institution where values like discipline, compassion, and determination are learned. Parents pass down not just life skills but also emotional intelligence. Deepika’s acknowledgement of her son’s role highlights the changing role of children in parents’ lives. Children, with their innocence, also teach modern parents mindfulness and patience. Her story shows how lessons of acting, emotions, and life often merge.
Divyam Shukla, portraying the role of Samrat in COLORS ‘Dhaakad Beera, says, “I learn something totally new every day on the set of Dhaakad Beera, and it’s amazing! Rakshanda ma’am is the best teacher and mentor I could ask for – she’s always there to help me with my scenes and teaches me these cool acting tricks that make every performance better. She’s been in this industry for so long and has so much experience; I really look up to her. What’s even better is that she’s always ready to help. I’m also very thankful to Pankhuri ma’am, my onscreen mother, who is such a sweetheart and explains things in the most pure, motherly way. And our biggest pillar is our director, ma’am, always by my side in every scene, making Samrat possible the way you see him today. In our show, my character Samrat fights for his little sister Kishmish to get a good education, and I think that’s really important in real life too. I’m blessed to have incredible teachers in my school who have always believed in me and made learning feel like the most exciting adventure. This Teacher’s Day, I want to give a huge thank you to all the wonderful teachers who guide kids like me and show us that learning can be the most fun thing in the world!”
For child actors like Divyam, on-set mentors become life teachers too. Experienced actors often play the role of guides, passing on knowledge that goes beyond acting, such as discipline, teamwork, and humility. His focus on education reflects a broader social message: that education is the foundation for empowerment, especially for young girls like his character’s sister. This connects strongly with ongoing global efforts to ensure quality education for all children.
Akshun Mahajan playing the role of Abhishek in COLORS’ ‘Manpasand Ki Shaadi’ shares, “Teacher’s Day serves as a beautiful reminder of the incredible mentors who have shaped my life’s journey – from my parents & family to my school in Pathankot to my college Les Roches in Switzerland, and from my mentors Karan Malhotra Sir and Maneesh Sharma Sir at YRF, where I worked as an assistant director, to my current mentor, Sooraj Barjatya Sir. As an actor, Sooraj Sir’s faith in my abilities from the very beginning transformed every challenge into an exciting opportunity. He taught me that authenticity and passion resonate more powerfully than any acting technique, a philosophy that has enriched my approach to every scene and character. Working on ‘Manpasand Ki Shaadi’ has been a continuous masterclass in growth as a performer. On set, every co-actor, Director, DOP & technician possesses a unique sense of wisdom that teaches me new lessons. I feel incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by people who inspire me to evolve, not just as an actor but also as a human being. This Teacher’s Day, I want to thank all the mentors who have helped shape me into the person I am today.”
Many film professionals agree that mentorship is a cornerstone of growth in the entertainment industry. From working behind the camera to acting in front of it, the mentorship of directors like Sooraj Barjatya or film school exposure offers unmatched experience. Akshun’s mention of his global education adds another dimension—how international exposure blends with Indian cinema traditions to shape versatile performers.
Rubina Dilaik, recently seen on COLORS ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check, shares, “My first and most influential teacher has always been my mother. Watching her work hard and still hold our family together gave me the value I live by today. She showed me that true strength is gentle yet unbreakable, and that grace under pressure is one of life’s most beautiful qualities. Even on ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check,’ I found myself drawing upon her wisdom to navigate relationships and challenges with dignity and love. On this Teacher’s Day, I want to celebrate all the mothers around the world, because they are often our first teachers who quietly but powerfully shape the people we become.”
Rubina’s thoughts echo what many cultural experts say—mothers are often the first and most powerful teachers. From emotional resilience to practical wisdom, their influence stays throughout life. Teacher’s Day, though traditionally about schools, has increasingly expanded to celebrate these everyday mentors at home.
