TO SIR, WITH LOVE

Back in the golden age of Doordarshan, Girish Karnad was a hit with the kids in the serial (1987) as the strict father of the protagonist. He lived and breathed the character. Few would remember (1989), a sci-fi serial in which Karan Johar had also acted as the protagonist’s bestie. Karnad played a kind and genial father in, a weekly science magazine presented by him. It introduced various landmarks in the world of science in layman language, with educator scientist Yash Pal being his guest.
