Shahid
Kapoor's
gone
back
to
school
-
literally!
With
the
release
of
his
next
film
Paathshaala
this
week,
Shahid
has
been
interacting
with
kids
from
various
schools.
Last
week,
he
visited
the
Beacon
High
School
in
Khar
and
taught
the
children
some
dance
steps.
Here
he
talks
about
his
school
days,
school
friends,
schoolteachers
and
more...
Which
school
did
you
study
in?
I
studied
in
Gyan
Bharati
School,
Delhi
till
Standard
4
and
then
joined
Rajhans
Vidyalaya,
Mumbai
in
Standard
5.
In
touch
with
any
school
friends?
I
am
in
touch
with
a
few
friends
from
my
Delhi
school
days.
In
fact,
Sriram,
a
friend
from
my
pre-primary
days,
comes
to
Mumbai
to
visit
quite
often.
He
stays
in
Bengaluru
and
is
a
senior
manager
in
a
corporate
firm.
Describe
yourself
aged
ten?
I
was
a
very
naughty
child.
I
was
an
average
to
above
average
student.
I
was
neither
a
brat
nor
a
teacher's
pet.
I
was
a
bit
of
both.
My
two
friends
and
I
were
called
the
pillars
of
the
class
because
we
were
always
standing
in
the
class
as
punishment.
Which
were
your
favourite
and
worst
subjects?
Science
was
my
favourite
but
I
was
terrible
in
Math.
I
was
never
the
front
bencher
nor
the
last
bencher.
I
was
somewhere
in
between.
Any
favourite
teacher?
Nobody
in
school
but
Shiamak
Davar
was
my
favourite
after
I
left
school.
Did
you
ever
bunk
school?
Yes
I
tried
to
a
few
times
but
always
got
caught!
Crush
on
any
teacher?
Yes,
I
did
have
a
few
but
it
may
look
a
little
bad
for
them
to
be
mentioned
like
this,
though
I
am
sure
they
knew
I
was
deeply
in
love
with
them
as
only
young
people
can
be.
Remember
any
girls
from
your
school
days?
Yes.
There
was
a
girl
in
my
school
when
I
was
in
Standard
8
whom
I
had
a
crush
on
and
I
used
to
go
to
tuition
class
only
because
she
went
there
but
she
was
also
keen
on
another
guy
and
dhokha
happened!
What
is
your
best
memory
from
your
school
days?
Best
memories
are
attached
to
my
school
in
Delhi.
We
were
a
gang
of
four
boys
and
we
ruled.
There
was
a
new
building
coming
up
in
the
school
compound
and
we
played
with
mud
and
pebbles
in
that
construction
area
all
day.
Also
Samir,
one
of
the
guys
in
our
gang,
had
a
crush
on
this
cute
girl
in
class
and
the
rest
of
us
made
sure
no
other
boy
could
sit
next
to
her.
We
were
in
Standard
2
during
this
episode.
And
a
painful
memory....
That
would
be
when
I
shifted
to
Mumbai
and
joined
a
new
school.
I
was
in
Standard
5.
Because
I
was
from
a
different
city,
I
was
the
perpetual
outsider
-
whether
it
was
the
way
I
spoke
or
the
things
I
said
-
everything
I
did
was
different
from
Mumbai
students.
Most
times
the
complaints
against
me
to
my
teachers
came
from
the
rest
of
the
class
and
I
spent
many
interesting
afternoons
standing
outside
the
class.
What's
the
one
thing
you
feel
every
school
should
have
today?
Every
school
should
have
a
student
suggestion
box
where
the
students
can
put
in
their
complaints
anonymously
and
be
confident
their
issues
will
be
addressed
genuinely.
What
do
you
feel
about
the
education
system
in
India
today?
We
have
a
great
academic
system.
The
importance
given
to
hard
work
and
education
is
very
good
but
sometimes,
it
gets
a
bit
excessive.
Why
did
you
say
yes
to
Paathshaala?
It
was
being
made
by
Shaira
and
Ahmed
Khan,
who
are
family
to
me
and
also
because
the
subject
is
very
relevant
and
I
feel
strongly
about
it.
I
hope
that
my
association
with
the
movie
will
take
it
to
more
people.
