Social media is a place where no one knows what they might stumble upon. On one such day, Ashutosh Rana found a decades old picture of himself along with his National School of Drama (NSD) batchmates. The actor took to Twitter to share the photo which has been going viral.
Rana wrote in the post that his classmates, who are now popular actors, were more like teachers to him.

On the other hand, Yashpal Sharma, who was part of the Oscar-nominated film Lagaan, has delivered noteworthy performances over the years in films like Gangaajal, Ab Tak Chhappan, and Gangs of Wasseypur.

Besides the familiar faces of entertainment industry, the photo also featured Shrivardhan Trivedi, news anchor and well-known for his crime show Sansani.

Here is what other Twitter users had to say:
गुस्ताख़ी माफ़ किजीएगा 🙏 ये आपके अभिनय का ही जादू था कि मैं कभी आपकी शक्ल देखते ही डर जाता था, “संघर्ष के लज्जा शंकर पाण्डेय” नाम ही काफी है 🙏

“वक्त बीत जाता है स्मृतियां छोड़ जाता है”
ऐसी स्मृतियां जीवन भर हमारे मस्तिष्क और हृदय में विद्यमान हो जाती है जिसे कभी भुलाया नहीं जा सकता 😇
क्यों ना आप एक एक करके सभी के बारे में कुछ लिखें। कुछ पुरानी यादें, कुछ साझा अनुभव, कुछ आज का मंजर। जिनके बारे मे आप लिखेंगे उन्हें भी अच्छा लगेगा और हमें आप सब को और जानने का अवसर मिलेगा
