Rani Mukerji is surprised to see her Biology teacher from school

Class apart

Rani got the surprise of her life when she bumped into her  biology teacher from school who,  incidentally, had come to the Express Tower on some personal work that day! Recalling her school days, she said, the students were free birds and there was hardly any news of women being insulted or molested and parents never feared for their children’s safety. “I’ve seen her in school and she was the same like she was in Mardaani. She would emphasise that everyone was equal! I liked her in her first picture Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat where she played a more stronger role,” said her teacher.

Raveena Tandon was in a playful mood that day! When we wanted her to mouth a funny dialogue from one of her films, she laughed saying, “Now you have to pay me because that will mean I performed. So please send a cheque,” she chuckled and being the sport that she is, she  posed with the firemen of the Express Tower.
