Telly actors walked down memory lane and shared their fond memories from school on the occasion of Children's Day. Actor Abhishek Nigam, who hails from Prayagraj, shared that he visits Anand Bhavan on Children's day. "Since Children's Day is celebrated as a tribute to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, we usually go there. We also had celebrations in the school. I still remember, on Children's Day, we used to get sweets. We were always given a packet of two laddoos after our morning prayer and then our class teacher would give us a samosa treat," he shared with IANS.

He further shared "That one day, we all wanted to stay at school for as long as we could. I miss those days and wish I could go back. If I were given an opportunity to be a child again, I would want to open my lunchbox during classes and have it with my friends quietly. To add to it, I would want to stay carefree and play as much as I can with my friends from school," said the actor.

Actress Bhavika Sharma also remembered the day as the time they had less of studies and more of fun. She shared with IANS, "I remember we used to have a half day of celebration at school, with dancing and eating. So, I used to dance a lot because I love dancing. I wish to become a child again, because that life is without stress, no need to think too much about anything. Childhood is a period when you just need to have fun, play and a little bit of studies. I was a little studious in my childhood but if I get a chance to become a child again, I will definitely use it to be a very notorious one this time. I might also use that opportunity to try all those things, sports, and subjects that I feared as a child."

Looking back at her school days, actress Ashi Singh said on Children's Day, her teachers used to perform a play and students got chocolates and sweets.
"It used to be so much fun to be pampered by all the teachers that day. I would love to go back to those days and be a child again. If I get a chance to be a child again even for a day, I will utilise the opportunity to live the day to the fullest, without caring or worrying about anything else in this world," said Ashi.
"It is important to keep the child in us alive because that takes you through some of the tough days. I think this Children's Day everyone should promise to bring the child within them out and enjoy that feeling to the fullest," she added.
