Bollywood's portrayal of the teacher hadn't moved

If it was school, it had to be cool. For ages, Bollywood's portrayal of the teacher hadn't moved beyond the hot teacher that left students smitten (Simi Garewal in "Mera Naam Joker", Sushmita Sen in her sexy sarees in "Main Hoon Na"), or a teacher who did everything but teach, (aka Shah Rukh Khan in "Mohabbatein", who was more interested in finding girlfriends for his students) - in short, the profession has mostly had a cheesy portrayal on the silver screen.
