Apart from her, several other actors have also returned to their schools, colleges and former homes and offices to shoot their films and promote them.Destination: Mithibai College

The actor, who studied at the Vile Parle college, had gone back there as a part of a HT Café initiative on the occasion of Teacher’s Day last year. He was mobbed and chased throughout the college premises. However, the excited star didn’t complain even a bit. He even sat on the bench in a class, like the other students.

When Imtiaz visited Hindu College in February, it was a homecoming of sorts for him. An alumnus of the college, Imtiaz spoke to the students with a lot of warmth and openness while promoting his film, Highway. He was greeted with loud cheers and a performance by Ibtida (the dramatics society of Hindu College). "Always tell your own stories, not those of others. I have a lot of expectation from Hindu," he had told the students.

So what better place to do this activity (sic)."

In February, the actor-producer graced the alumni reunion of his alma mater. He was invited as the chief guest for the college’s alumni reunion. "I am one of the blessed and proud Jai Hind-ites, who not only did his major in economics from Jai Hind, but like any other student, roamed around roads A and B. Today, being called here as a chief guest makes me really feel embarrassed," John had said.
