Mumbai, Sep 4 : Actor Manish Raisinghan recalls enjoying the teaching profession and calls it a life changing experience.
The actor, who is known for featuring in TV shows like Teen Bahuraniyaan, Sasural Simar Ka, Ek Shringaar-Swabhiman among others, said: “I have had an amazing bond with all my teachers.I feel learning is the most primary part of life.After becoming a National martial arts champion I was asked by my teacher to teach others.
But I was quite resistant as I enjoyed fighting and being in the ring in all the formats.
“But he advised me that teaching makes us more perfect.And that’s what happened when I started sharing my arts with others I was improving myself.”
The actor last seen in ‘Kyunkii Tum Hi Ho’ added: “Teaching was my life changing experience.As the profession invoked a lot in me and I realised that I was the most receiving student of the class while I was teaching.Also later my teacher was truly amazed when in the first National Championship I participated as a teacher along with my 15 students and we won 16 medals.
”
“And I guess what better Pat on a teacher’s back when you create champions.That brought in a bigger adrenaline rush than being a champion yourself.”
Manish reveals earning Rs 3000.
“I was in college at that time and didn’t start acting.I was teaching for free as I believed in living the art.But then my master told me to charge a commitment fee for students not to enter teaching space with ‘Taken for granted attitude’ so I started charging a small amount per head for name sake.So I made around Rs.3000 depending on the amount of classes I took.”
Manish shares his experience ahead of Teachers day, which is celebrated on September 5 every year in India marked in honour of Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s birthday.
