Mumbai Narsee Monjee professor’s stylish ramp walk goes viral as students share videos

A video showcasing a college teacher's stunning ramp walk at the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) in Mumbai has taken social media by storm, amassing over 20 million views. The clip, shared by Instagram user Kavya Chaudhary, features the Safiya Shaikh, a faculty member of institute, confidently strutting down the ramp while her enthusiastic students cheer her on.

Dressed in a striking black shiny top and bell-bottom pants, the teacher radiated confidence as she made her entrance. One of her students humorously reenacted a classic scene from the Bollywood film Om Shanti Om, where Shah Rukh Khan pretends to faint upon seeing Deepika Padukone. The student's dramatic flair added to the lively atmosphere, prompting laughter and applause from the audience.

Social Media Reactions

Commenters flooded the post with praise and humor. One user quipped, "Karan Johar wala college," referencing the director's love for melodrama. Another chimed in, "Ok, but that fall was so smooth," highlighting the student's performance. Many praised the teacher’s poise, with comments like, "She looks like a model" and "Born to be a model, forced to be a teacher."



The event was held on Teacher’s Day, but the video only recently gained traction online, drawing attention for its light-hearted celebration of the student-teacher bond. Users expressed their admiration for both the teacher and her students, with one commenting, "She stole the show and the fall stole the laughter," and another adding, "That fall was the best part for real."

This joyful moment echoes a similar viral sensation from Delhi University, where Gargi College's principal, Professor (Dr.) Sangeeta Bhatia, strutted down the ramp at the annual cultural festival, Reverie. Dressed elegantly in a saree, she joined students on stage and even danced to the catchy song "High Heels" by Jaz Dhami and Honey Singh. The event, held from February 13 to 15, included a range of competitive activities, with both teachers and students participating in the fashion show.

As social media continues to celebrate these delightful displays of camaraderie between students and faculty, it’s clear that education can be just as much about creativity and fun as it is about learning.
