Chicago-born Yale graduate Chetan Kumar came to India on a Fulbright scholarship to study Kannada theatre. He stayed on, travelled, unlearnt many concepts, taught and learnt from children before making his mark in Kannada films. But between shoots, he continues to visit children at his family-run school near Mysore. He claims he doesn’t just teach, he also learns and unlearns many notions. And that, for him, is the essence of education.
