The teacher who terrified Saif

On the occasion of Teacher's Day we asked our celebs a hatke question: Which teacher terrorised them the most during their student days " and what lesson did they learn from the experience

Saif Ali Khan
When I was very little (about six years old) I used to have a Maulvi named Ghau Bhai who used to teach me verses of the Koran after school.He was strict and hit me on the knuckles with a ruler if I made mistakes reciting something. The only way to escape the hitting was to not make mistakes. I was scared of him but his lessons were very effective, so I still haven't forgotten what he taught me.

We had a teacher called Pam whom the whole school was petrified of. When she would enter a noisy class, it would fall silent immediately. She had a quirky habit of looking out of the window for the first 15 minutes that she spent in the class after which she would turn to us and ask one of us to solve a sum on the board.

Amrita Rao
My mathematics teacher Sheetal was certainly who I was scared of the most. She write a sum on the board and sternly ask the class, who can come and solve this on the board?' I remember being utterly scared when she'd so that and staring at the screen frozen.

Elli Avram:
I remember one pre school teacher in particular, her name was Tina. She was a terror and no one spoke a word in front of her. One day my father was late to pick me from school so I was left with no one around but her! I haven't stayed so quite for so long ever in my life because I was afraid she'd ask me something. I pretended to be focused on a painting all along and rushed as soon as my dad was at the door.
