CELEBS ON GURU POORNIMA

Jyothi Venkatesh

The Guru always plays a very vital role in the life of every human being. Behind the phenomenal success of every person, the reason and the cause for him being what he is, is no one other than his guru and all the selfless teachings of his or her  guru, besides his or her abundant blessings. During the auspicious occasion of Guru Poornima this year, some of our célèbs remember their gurus and their yeoman contribution to the making of whoever they are today in the industry. In this special feature, celebs including Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, Dino Morea, Raveena Tandon, Nimrat Kaur , Manoj Bajpayee Kunal Kohli, Subhash Ghai, Sanjay Dutt and Shamita Shetty express what Guru Poornima means to them .

NIMRAT KAUR

Guru Purnima has always had a very special place in my heart. This one is special for more reasons than ever before. Deeply grateful for all the learnings from my loved ones who continue to inspire, teach by example and bless me with their unending warmth and care day upon day. And to say that the tide of the ‘bigger plan’ has been the most significant lesson since this year began would be an understatement. In awe of the the way this great human pause of life, has been my greatest, most prolific teacher, philosopher and guide. May we all seek the light and keep the faith

MANOJ BAJPAYEE

On the occasion of GURU PURNIMA I bow down to all my Gurus who shaped me and gave me a clear direction without which I would have been a lost man with no knowledge and purpose!!!

KUNAL KOHLI

Like Eklavya I had gurus who didn’t directly teach me but yet taught me everything. Yash Chopra, Guru Dutt, Raj Khosla, Raj Kapoor, Manoj Kumar, Vijay Anand, Subhash Ghai.

SUBHASH GHAI

The word guru comes from the two Sanskrit words ‘gu’+’ru’. Gu' means ignorance or darkness and 'ru' means the removal of darkness. Gurus are named so because they remove the darkness from our lives by teaching us the right things and showing us the right path

SANJAY DUTT

Even though my dear parents are not here with me today, their blessings and teachings will always remain with me,. They have been my first teachers, who guided me in every step in life, Happy Guru Purnima to all
