Manushi Chhillar. the beauty queen-turned, said: "One of my most special teachers from school was Ms Bose. She used to teach us Indian dance and music in junior school.

"She was among the strictest teachers I had but I loved her dearly because through her strictness I learnt about performance discipline, and I understood that when you enjoy performing and like the stage, there is a lot of practice and self-discipline to go with it," she said.
