Children s Day: TV celebs cherish childhood memories
Mumbai Nov 12 (IANS) Ahead of Children s Day on Tuesday popular TV celebrities like Saumya Tandon Neha Saxena and Simran Kaur have recalled their favourite childhood memories.
Here s what the celebrities said:
Saumya Tandon: I was a very sensitive child who used to ask questions on everything and watch things very closely. I hardly remember playing with dolls during my childhood days. When I was six years old our servant used to stay in our outhouse with his wife kid and a goat. I was very attached to them as I was born during their presence. Also in my neighbourhood a family used to live. The eldest son was a pilot and was very fond of me.
Neha Saxena: I have two memories of my childhood -- I was always pampered by my elder sisters. We studied in the same school so during lunch breaks I would meet them and they would buy me ice-cream and chocolates. Another memory which I cherish is with my mother. She is a single parent and she raised all of us. As a kid once I demanded to go to Goa to meet my aunt and wanted my mom to fulfil that demand just for me.
Nitin Goswami: I was a prankster in school. I was an active sports boy as well. I used to play cricket football and win matches. I was encouraged to play sports by my family and teachers. Those memories are still fresh and I miss them.
Priyank Purohit: I loved playing pranks and teasing people. But I had elder sisters who made sure that I was a disciplined child. They not only rolled their eyes at me but I also used to get occasional whipping from them for the mischief I did. But now I realise that all that has helped me to be more disciplined. I am still scared of my sisters.
Simran Kaur: When I was 12 years old I went for an audition and got selected as the voice of Nobita for the cartoon series ‘Daemon . That was the turning point of my life and the next day when I went to school I received an all-rounder award and an academic achievement award from my school principal. It came as a surprise to me. That was truly the golden period of my childhood. I miss it today.
Ankit Gera: As a child I remember that I was never interested in going to school. So my mom and dad used to drag me to school. But now that I have grown up I think shooting schedule is similar to school as we have to wake up on time and you can t really miss going to shoot. The feeling that parents used to take us out for picnic is the best feeling in the world. But now I am busy and I really miss all of it.
Yukti Kapur: As a child I used to wait for summer vacations because my cousins used to come to our home. I was very sporty and loved playing so every day I would leave the house at 4 p.m. and play till 8 p.m.
Farnaz Shetty: One of the fondest memories is my first pet dog whom I rescued from the road. I used to play with him feed him and take care of him. And as a child I remember rescuing a lot of animals.
