Ludhiana: Telugu camp concludes amid mixed reaction from teachers
Aimed at promoting cultural exchange between Punjab and Andhra Pradesh The week-long Telugu language classes held across Punjab government schools under the Bharatiya Bhasha Summer Camp wrapped up on Thursday, but not without raising eyebrows among educators and experts. While the initiative, driven by the Union ministry of education, aimed to promote cultural exchange between Punjab and Andhra Pradesh, many teachers believe the focus should have been on strengthening Punjabi skills, especially for migrant students who continue to lag. According to Punjab School Education Board results for 2024-25, over 1,500 students from Class 10 and 386 from Class 8 across the state, did not qualify Punjabi exam, despite it being their primary language. The concern, teachers say, isn't about resisting multilingualism, but prioritising basics before diversifying. Dharamjeet Singh Dhillon, district president of the Lecturer Cadre Union, questioned the timing and relevance of teaching Telugu. 'Migrant children struggle with Punjabi. They live and work here, why not focus on their proficiency in the state's language first? Instead of a central gimmick, we needed classes that strengthen academic foundations,' he said. Still, not everyone echoed this sentiment. Charanjeet Kaur Ahuja, principal of Government Senior Secondary School, Cemetery Road, called the programme 'refreshing and insightful'. She said, 'Teachers learnt Telugu via video modules and brought those lessons alive in classrooms. Students not only learnt greetings and songs, but even prepared Andhra cuisine, it truly brought cultural learning to life.' The students also seemed enthusiastic. 'We made Telugu charts, sang songs and interacted in a new language, it was fun and different,' said a Class 8 student. Another student shared how the experience transported them into the heart of Andhra Pradesh in just seven days. Responding to concerns about Punjabi proficiency, Ahuja added that the government's Mission Samrath initiative is already addressing this gap, helping underperforming students, particularly migrants, strengthen their language skills. District education officer (secondary) Dimple Madan did not respond despite several attempts.

Aamir Khan is a legend who acts like a newcomer when newcomers act like legends: Sitaare Zameen Par director RS Prasanna
He may be one of the three Khans who have ruled Bollywood for over three decades, but Aamir Khan has one of the most mysterious auras among Bollywood stars. From his public appearances in flip-flops to his willingness to be interviewed often, Aamir is someone who refuses to accept his superstardom at every turn. RS Prasanna, the director of his next film, Sitaare Zameen Par, says this makes the actor endearing and easy to work with. In a no-holds-barred chat about the actor and the film, Prasanna opens up on the making the film, expectations from it, and more. (Also read: Sitaare Zameen Par new song out: Fans say, Aamir Khan and Genelia's Sar Aankhon Pe is 'pure magic') Prasanna's last release was Shubh Mangal Savdhaan in 2017. He says that a potential collaboration with Aamir Khan began soon after. "Shamath (Mazumdar), his manager, reached out to me after Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. I was playing with my kids in Chennai, and I got a call from this guy saying, 'I am calling from AKPL,' and somehow that AKPL didn't stick. As a Chennai guy, I associate with Aamir Khan Productions. Later on, when he said Aamir Khan, I wondered 'ye Aamir Khan ke baare me kyun baat kar raha hai'. When I asked, he specified, and it hit me," says the filmmaker with a laugh. Eventually, he began developing the script of Sitaare Zameen Par, the official Hindi adaptation of Campeones, and things fell into place. Prasanna felt that the coach could only be played by Aamir. "Then I went into a deep sorrow. What if he says no? Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anybody else in the role," he says. But Aamir said yes to the film, and the filming began. Prasanna describes Aamir as a combination of actor, superstar, and producer. But in any role, the star is someone who shrugs off praise and wants to avoid stardom. Prasanna shares, "The most surprising thing about Aamir sir is that he is a legend who behaves like a newcomer, and you have newcomers who behave like legends. For me, it was just like how I connected with Ayush (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Bhumi (Pednekar). I was a first-time director (in Shubh Mangal Savdhaan), and they made me feel comfortable. The same is with Aamir sir." Talking about Aamir's reluctance to be a star on screen, the filmmaker says, "Sometimes, I have to remind him, 'You are a superstar; people want to watch your film.' But he won't let me do any fan service in the film. For him, only the film and the story matter. He doesn't matter." Sitaare Zameen Par is a spiritual sequel to Aamir's 2007 film, Taare Zameen Par. The film also stars Genelia D'Souza in a pivotal role. The film is scheduled to release theatrically on 20 June.
