Vedang Raina Returns To Alma Mater As Chief Guest, Reflects On School Memories

On December 17, Vedang Raina returned to his alma mater, Mumbai’s Jamnabai Narsee School, and felt a sense of pride and nostalgia. The actor reflected on how life had come full circle after being invited as the main guest at the yearly sports meet for kids with disabilities. He recalled his last memory of the event when he had accompanied the main visitor back then, Alia Bhatt. “Now, to return as the chief guest myself, especially after working with Alia, feels surreal,” he said. He was amazed and tear-jerking to watch the current student council in action because it reminded him of his own time.

Vedang later reminds Alia Bhatt of the day that they collaborated on Jigra, though he doesn’t speak to her at this sporting event. He discovered that they shared a common school house, which was such a delightful fact that helps them connect. The children at that school were over the moon to see Vedang and, when asked if he felt the same amount of delight when celebrities visited his school, he said yes even though he never mentioned this. After reflecting on those visits and how they impacted him, he said that’s what he wants today’s kids to dream big enough for to be called back as a guest of honour not just to pursue acting.

Memories were rushing during his visit as he recollected so much from his classroom. At board exams, Vedang was recollecting an incident which had emotional value where after completing the paper, with all of his assurance of having cracked everything, he noticed that there was still time for answering a 10-mark question. Even after being attacked by intense panic, he could garner 91 that he has witnessed to be one of the best ever. He is proud that he says his top flex remains the 97% board score.

When asked whether he is a troublemaker or a teacher’s pet, Vedang told he was a little of both. Though excellent academically, certain teachers were displeased because he often did not go to class due to attending practice with the band. At the same time, the same teachers began to find favor with him because of his involvement with the student council. He made major strides back into his school days when he ran across former instructors.
