Mumbai, July 2 || Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai, on Wednesday, took to social media to celebrate lifelong friendship with filmmakers Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and David Dhawan.
Ghai posted a collage featuring himself alongside Hirani and Dhawan. In a heartfelt note, the ‘Taal’ director reflected on their shared journey in the film industry, highlighting their common bond as alumni of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII).
In his post, Subhash Ghai emphasized the value of foundational education, noting that while their formal training came from FTII, real learning happened every day from the environment around them. Ghai also linked this philosophy to his teaching approach at Whistling Woods International, the film school he founded.
For the caption, the ‘Pardes’ filmmaker wrote, “We all four friends stayed for more than three decades successfully in the movie industry,” Ghai wrote. “We studied for two years at our mother institute — Film Institute of India — but in different courses, from acting to editing. Yet we grew in our own excellence in movies.”
