Actor-director Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram stories and treated fans with old lost memories from her childhood while penning a note for her beloved teacher. In the picture which she informed is from the time when she was in second grade, a little Kangana can be seen performing on the school's annual day. 

"Back home when I went to a small public school in the valley...This picture is from the second class when I performed on the annual day. Happy Teachers' Day to all my teachers I ever had," she wrote in the story. South legend Mammootty also extended wishes on the special day with a post on Twitter. "Happy Teacher's Day," he tweeted. 

Meanwhile, Teachers' Day is observed in more than 100 nations, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and India. The day not only acknowledges the immense dedication and zeal of the teachers to prepare a child to face the world but also on issues like employment, training, and significant difficulties that revolve around the job. According to UNESCO, World Teachers Day commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets benchmarks regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions.
