While I respect Subhash ji's personal beliefs, Osho was quite controversial in his time. Not sure if he's the best example to celebrate on Teachers' Day. But to each their own!

Interesting how Indian filmmakers often have spiritual gurus. In Hollywood, it's more about therapists and life coaches. Different cultural approaches to guidance!

Subhash Ghai's films like Taal and Khalnayak have such philosophical depth. Now I understand where he gets his inspiration from. True artist!

His respect for his wife's religious practices while having his own spiritual path is so beautifully Indian. We embrace multiple traditions in one family 🪷
