WE ARE PROUD OF OUR Alumni Students
I have met very few teachers who have inspired me…it was Taneja Saheb who opened my mind as an actor and taught me.
Naseeruddin Shah BATCH OF 1975
He is such a great legend of our industry. He had taught acting to my father. Before.. Sawaariya, I had done some classes with him. He was a great talent.
Ranbir Kapoor BATCH OF 2005
He is the best Guru India’s ever had, he is an institution and a legend and should be honoured and treasured forever and ever…
Anil Kapoor BATCH OF 1976
If you want to be trained as an Actor there is
only one person who can do that and that is Taneja saheb...
The atmosphere he created for his students was so conducive that he made me realize the importance of reacting to the Actor in front of me…
Rani Mukherjee BATCH OF 1996
I am what I am as an Actor because of Prof.
Taneja and for that I shall be indebted to him forever...
Prof. Taneja was the first to identify my
spontaneity as an actor and encouraged me to build on it...
Prof. Taneja is my one and only true Guru… He is the only person whose feet I touch in respect…I feel blessed to have trained under him.
Shabana Azmi BATCH OF 1973
The initial respect I got from the industry as an
Actor was due to the stamp of being trained under Taneja saheb…
Taneja Saheb is the creator of actors and the biggest star according to me since he has always been a giver rather than a taker… I owe a lot to him and his teachings have been a source of inspiration and strength to me.
Subhash Ghai BATCH OF 1963-65
Taneja Saheb encouraged me to evolve my
personality… and taught me the importance of being original…as an Actor
I feel privileged to have learnt under him… I
have a special place for him in my heart right up there with my parents
He helped me discover myself as an Actor and
transformed my personality.
Taneja saheb’s method is very indirect..he helps
you draw out the actor within you by giving acting exercises and then analyses them for
you.
His way of explaining things was so precise that
if you really listened to him, there is no way you could misfire…
Prof. Taneja has not only devised a method which
is his own, but he also understands the needs of individual students
My father has tremendous respect for him and so
do I.
He taught me the importance of improvising as an
Actor and giving each character my own interpretation.
He has a very gentle but an extremely effective
way of teaching the craft of Acting and teaches every student as he would his own child
He taught me the importance of forgetting who you
are or what background you come from… and to just think about the character and give it your own
dimension.
He demystifies the process of acting and makes it
very simple… he gave my life a sense of purpose and direction.
What helped me most was the interaction with
fellow students and the importance of action and reaction and spontaneity.
I am thankful to Sir, for helping me find my path
as an actor…
I wish he continues teaching many more aspiring
actors…. As he has the magic touch
Even after 4 decades he continues to amaze and
inspire me…
Taneja Saheb is a great teacher who has given the
industry an amazing bouquet of actors
What a wonderful teacher Taneja Saheb has been…at
first he seemed distant but later I discovered him to be a very affable and endearing
person
He was always very precise in his interactions
and never indulged in any loose talk…
