It's that day of the year when we pay respect to our gurus. It's a day when he thank our teachers for playing a pivotal role in shaping our lives. Each day at school enriched our minds. There are some lessons that just didn't end with the last day of education but we carried them for the rest of our lives.

This Teacher's Day, we called few celebs to know life’s biggest lesson they've learnt from their guru.

Panchi Bora:

I belong to an army background and I have studied in an army school. Studying in an army school, the biggest lesson I learnt from my teachers was the value for time and discipline.

Karan Oberoi:

The biggest lesson I learnt from my teachers is humility. I started learning music at a very young age. My music teacher used to tell me that only a good human being can be a good artist. She wanted me to be a good human before being a good singer. In fact, all my teachers insisted on humility and I am fortunate to have had such teachers.

Ashita Dhawan:

The biggest lesson I have learnt is to do the best and leave the rest to God. This is something I implement even in my day- to- day chores. My teachers also taught me to be good to people without expecting anything in return. So I help people in need and not boast about it. Since I studied in a convent school our teachers always told us that we are constantly watched by The Almighty so I have become God-fearing now. I know whatever I do God is watching me and I will have to pay if I go wrong.

Chetan Hansraj:

Patience is the key to success. This is one virtue I have learnt from my teachers and I implement it in my professional life. Though at times it becomes rather difficult and does get annoying but I religiously try to be as patient as I can.

Varun Badola:

I was assisting film director Tigmanshu Dhulia when he told me that don’t try too hard for anything; you will end up burning yourself. It was a time when I desperately needed to prove myself. In a task that required me to put my 50%, I would put my 100%. That would leave me fatigued and tired at the end of the day. I realised that one should not go overboard in doing something.

Saumya Tandon:

My father was a literature teacher and also the vice chancellor of the university. So, I never had to look beyond him for any lessons. He always stressed that making things simple is the most difficult task in life.

It was his most beautiful quality to impart knowledge in a simple way.

Rajan Shahi:

For me my guru is producer-writer Ravi Rai who has taught me the intricacies and minor details of direction. I have worked for six years under him. He always told me that nothing comes without hard work and there is no shortcut to it. I never sat down with him to understand the detailing. I observed him observing life that I learned whatever I implement today. I have learned a lot from his writing. The biggest lesson still remains to be non-judgmental. When I was working with him I used to be judgmental but now when I am going through the same phase I know how difficult it was for him to take those tough decisions which I happen to take today. One must never question his guru or teachers. Today I feel more grateful and emotionally attached to him.

Vijay Ishwarlal Pawar:

I couldn't learn much from my teachers as I hardly paid attention to studies. Often, I mimicked them. They always asked me to concentrate on my English but I didn't pay much heed to their advice. I'm left to regret my actions today. Knowledge of English is very essential today and I've now vowed to learn it. I'm sure my teachers will all be pleased once I learn English.

Anang Desai:

The biggest lesson I have learnt from my teachers is to be committed to whatever you do. They also taught me to be honest and sincere to my work and others.
