Aditya Raj Kapoor

, the son of legendary actor

Shammi Kapoor

, has embarked on a new chapter in his life as a teacher at the age of 68. Kapoor, who graduated in

Philosophy

from

Indira Gandhi Open University

in 2023, is now sharing his knowledge and insights in the classroom.
Talking to ETimes, Aditya Raj Kapoor expressed his deep appreciation for the teaching profession, saying, “A teacher is the most humbling of all occupations.

You need academic knowledge and spiritual humility. By giving my first class on the Synthesis of eastern and western virtue ethics-I turn teacher! My apologies to all my teachers who I punished with my arrogance.”
The Kapoors are not typically associated with a strong focus on academics, so one might wonder how Shammi Kapoor would have reacted to his son graduating at 67 and pursuing a

teaching career

. He shared, “My father would have been very happy. He did his second year college and would have continued if his father didn’t pull him out to work in

Prithvi Theatre

. He knew the value of education.”
