										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>After Kota Factory, Netflix and TVF bring another story rooted in classrooms, honouring India’s celebrated educator and the students who dared to dream big. Directed by Pratish Mehta, with Viineet Kumar Singh leading the cast alongside Vikram Kochhar and Girija Oak Godbole, the series is further elevated by strong performances from Satendra Soni, Sonu Kumar Yadav, Anshul Dogra, Samta Sudiksha, Varun Buddhadev, and Naman Jain, who sensitively portray five unique stories of students navigating challenges and rising against all odds.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>We spoke to actor Viineet Kumar Singh about this.</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Question:</strong> We’ve seen many films paying tribute to teachers—Dead Poets Society, Black, The Karate Kid, To Serve With Love—and now Netflix’s Hello Bachcho is also a tribute. How did you prepare yourself for this role, knowing it was a tribute to teachers?</p>



<p><strong>Answer:</strong> First of all, I’m very happy to have this opportunity. This show is a tribute to teachers. Every person in life has been touched by a teacher, and my father is a mathematician, so personally, it’s also a tribute to him.</p>



<p>The show highlights many aspects of today’s education system: rising costs, career confusion among children, social pressures, and the difficulties faced by girls and underprivileged students. Preparing for this role meant understanding all of these realities and the sensitivity a teacher needs to have to impact students’ lives positively.</p>



<p>I wanted to understand Alakh Pandey sir’s rhythm, his energy, and how he interacts with students, family, and friends. Beyond classroom videos, I spent time observing his day-to-day life—how he eats, sits, moves, and engages. That helped me capture the authenticity of the character.</p>



<p>I was fortunate because my academic background and my family’s involvement in education gave me a foundation. My father always emphasized honesty, dedication, and understanding cause and effect—like Newton’s law. That philosophy naturally aligned with the teacher’s role in the series.</p>



<p><strong>Question:</strong> The series portrays students from diverse and underprivileged backgrounds. How did this influence your understanding of the Indian education system today?</p>



<p><strong>Answer:</strong> I’ve lived in this world. I know the struggles. I studied in government schools with excellent teachers, but today many parents prefer private schools, often because education has become so expensive. Education is turning into a luxury rather than a right.</p>



<p>Basic education should be accessible to all children. Government institutions are crucial—they allow students from poor families to study without financial barriers. If we fail to ensure this, we are creating walls for those who want to learn but cannot afford it. Education, healthcare, and security are fundamental rights, just like voting. Everyone deserves access.</p>



<p><strong>Question:</strong> In the show, Alakh Pandey sir connects with students empathetically. How did you balance authority, empathy, and vulnerability in your portrayal?</p>



<p><strong>Answer:</strong> As an Answer, it’s important to capture all sides of a character. A teacher’s authority is balanced by empathy and vulnerability. For instance, when a child struggles because of family circumstances, the teacher often shields them from harsh realities, allowing them to perform without fear. That balance had to be authentic—showing care without compromising discipline.</p>



<p>Through this approach, students learn responsibility and realize the value of opportunities. It’s not just teaching academics; it’s shaping their perspective and confidence.</p>



<p><strong>Question:</strong> Were there any particular storylines or scenes that touched you emotionally?</p>



<p><strong>Answer:</strong> Many stories were moving. The story of Naman, Haria, and other students who face societal or familial obstacles was particularly touching. Scenes showing girls wanting to study or play but being restricted really highlighted gender-based challenges. Girls’ potential is often limited by societal norms, but when allowed to pursue their ambitions, they excel—whether in sports, arts, or leadership.</p>



<p>This is a recurring theme—parents and society sometimes inadvertently limit talent. The show reflects this beautifully and emphasizes that education and support can unlock tremendous potential.</p>



<p><strong>Question:</strong> What feedback have you received from viewers?</p>



<p><strong>Answer:</strong> The feedback has been incredible. Many people have said the series moved them to tears. They connected deeply with the stories and characters. I’m grateful to the entire team—producers Aruna, Sherry, Shreyansh Pandey, Vijay Koshi; writers Abhishek, Varun Ali, Ankit; and director Pratish. Acting is a team game, and this collaboration created something touching and impactful.</p>

<p><strong>Teaser Link:</strong><strong> </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH5TIDnssQH/?igsh=MXg5dzFqeGlhZjhkdw=="><strong>https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH5TIDnssQH/?igsh=MXg5dzFqeGlhZjhkdw==</strong></a><strong></strong></p>



<p><strong><u>PUNE:</u></strong>: JioHotstar continues revolutionizing India’s live streaming experience by making it more inclusive and accessible, connecting millions and bridging the gap between audiences and their favorite events. Following the tremendous success of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres and Mahashivratri: The Divine Night Livestream, which captivated millions, the platform is now set to bring the festivities of Ram Navami to viewers with a unique live stream from Ayodhya on 6th April, from 8 AM to 1 PM. The celebrations will feature the legendary Padma Vibhushan Shri. Amitabh Bachchan narrates evocative stories of the <em>Ram Katha</em>. Combining community celebrations with technology, the livestream reinforces JioHotstar’s commitment to enhancing accessibility, bringing cultural moments closer to millions, and ensuring an unforgettable experience.</p>



<p>At the heart of this momentous occasion, is <strong>Padma Vibhushan Shri. Amitabh Bachchan</strong> will share timeless wisdom and reflections on Lord Ram’s values, offering a celebration of our cultural heritage and inspiring a forward-looking vision for India. The festivities will capture the joy and reverence of Lord Ram’s birth and journey, depicting the seven <em>kands of the Ramayana, all while streaming live from the heart of Ram Janmabhoomi to spiritually uplift viewers with his legacy. Shri. Amitabh Bachchan will also host an interactive session with kids, showcasing select stories and couplets of the kands in an engaging and relatable manner. From a special pooja performed at Ayodhya, sacred rituals across temples, to soul-stirring LIVE aartis from Bhadrachalam, Panchvati, Chitrakoot and Ayodhya, to devotional bhajans, and mesmerizing cultural performances by revered artists including Kailash Kher and Malini Awasthi, the live stream</em> will evoke a collective sense of devotion and togetherness.</p>



<p>Speaking on the initiative, a<strong> JioHotstar spokesperson</strong> stated,<strong> </strong><em>&#8220;Our live streaming capabilities have enabled us to bring culturally significant experiences to viewers across India. The overwhelming success of events from live sports to Coldplay &#8211; Live from Ahmedabad to the 14-hour livestream of the recent Mahashivratri: The Divine Night has inspired us to push boundaries and offer unparalleled experiences to Indian consumers. Ram Navami is a deeply revered occasion in our country, and we&#8217;re honored to bring its sacred celebrations to millions in every corner of the country. With the legend himself, Shri Amitabh Bachchan narrating Lord Ram&#8217;s journey, this experience promises to evoke profound emotions on this auspicious occasion.&#8221;</em></p>



<p><strong>Padma Vibhushan Shri. Amitabh Bachchan </strong>said,<em> “To be part of such a sacred occasion is an honor of a lifetime. Ram Navami is more than a festival—it is a moment of deep reflection, a time to embrace the ideals of dharma, devotion, and righteousness that Lord Ram personified. Through JioHotstar, we are blessed with the power of technology to transcend distances, uniting hearts across the nation in an unprecedented celebration of faith, culture, and spirituality.”</em></p>



<p>With initiatives like these, JioHotstar is unlocking Infinite Possibilities, enabling viewers across the nation to experience the beauty of festivities from the comfort of their homes. By curating live-stream events like Coldplay, Mahashivratri, and Ram Navami, the platform celebrates the nation’s rich heritage in a manner that is immersive and deeply engaging.</p>
