While several artistes are utilising the stay-at-home period to pick up a new skill, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has turned teacher to aspiring actors at Celebrity School, a talent-driven learning platform. The online programme comprises five courses that are helmed by the masters of their fields — acting by Siddiqui, independent filmmaking by Madhur Bhandarkar, singing by Shaan, communication skills by Sabira Merchant and entrepreneurship by businessman Siddharth Prabhakar.
Though the programme was originally launched last September, the lockdown has now enabled the artistes to devote more time and engage with the students directly. Where the sessions were earlier pre-recorded by the celebrities so that their schedules do not hinder the completion of the curriculum, the stars have organised several live virtual sessions with the mentees in the past four months.
