I was a backbencher: Anil Kapoor recalls school days

Mumbai: Veteran actor Anil Kapoor was quite a naughty child at school, he revealed and shared that he also was among the backbenchers.

"I was a backbencher and my favourite teacher was the one who never used to shout at me, and would easily forgive me for my mistakes," Anil said here while promoting P&G Shiksha, a flagship corporate social responsibility programme.

Nevertheless, the "Dil Dhadakne Do" actor truly believes in the importance of education.

"Education plays a very important role in a child's life and helps them grow into successful individuals. I have three children and as parents, we understand the importance of providing good quality education to them, which helps them in taking decisions independently in the future," Anil added.

He said his school days are special for him as he is still friends with those whom he met in the first standard.

"I have some of the best memories from school. The fun we had, studying together, playing together, I remember all that," he said.
