Atul
Kulkarni,
who
is
currently
basking
in
the
success
of
his
film
A
Thursday,
has
re-shared
his
comments
on
the
education
system
of
our
nation.
The
actor,
who
is
quite
active
on
social
media,
revealed
that
he
stumbled
upon
his
Facebook
posts
from
21st
February
2011
whilst
adding
that
he
is
an
engineering
drop-out
from
the
College
Of
Engineering
Pune,
Maharashtra.
He
then
went
ahead
and
re-shared
his
thought-provoking
posts
which
consisted
of
some
personal
anecdotes.
Atul
shared,
“Biggest
Irony
of
my
life
time-A
Engineering
college
drop
out,
an
IIT
entrance
exam
failure;
invited
to
IIT
Chennai
for
a
lecture
and
interaction!
Don’t
know
how
to
react
to
this!
I
don’t
want
to
call
it
a
triumph.
It
is
not.
Is
it
a
comment
on
our
education
system
I
was
thrown
into?
Or
a
comment
on
our
social
system
which
made
my
parents
do
that
?
Wonder
how
my
father
would
have
reacted
to
this
invite
if
he
was
alive!!”
He
then
recalled
a
shoot
he
did
a
couple
of
years
back
in
his
Engineering
College
in
Pune
and
shared
that
he
was
there
after
a
gap
of
about
23
years.
He
further
added,
“Was
signing
autographs
for
the
engineers
of
a
college
from
where
I
walked
out
as
a
failure!!
I
was
‘escorted’
by
the
engineers
and
shown
around!!
Again,
it
was
NOT
a
triumph…..
I
remember
I
was
sad
that
day…”
In
his
third
post,
Atul
said
that
he
is
a
privileged
one
who
has
got
all
this
in
spite
of
being
a
failure.
He
then
ponders
about
hundreds
of
those
who
failed
because
they
were
judged
in
the
field
which
was
not
of
their
own
choice
and
those
who
never
recovered
from
those
failures.
He
concluded
by
stating,
“Well,
my
feeling
grows
stronger.
A
feeling
that
our
education
system
and
social
attitude
towards
measuring
‘success’
needs
to
change
drastically
!!”
In

of
Drama
