It is always nice to see old pictures of film stars. In these, we get to see the unseen side of the stars. Social media has proved to be a great boon in this case! Celebrities use social media to give their fans a glimpse of their daily life. From Amitabh Bachchan to Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, most of the celebrities are active on social media. One of the biggest celebrities of Bollywood recently shared an old picture of her school days. In the picture shared by the diva on social media, she recalled how she completed her studies in 13 different schools due to her father's profession. She talked about living a simple life in the mountains and also shared stories related to friends and the forest. In the picture shared by the actress, she is posing with her school friends, and she also asked her fans to identify them. This is none other than the famous actress Celina Jaitly. She shared a picture on Instagram and along with the picture, she wrote a long note about her life in the mountains. Celina's father was an infantry officer in the Indian Army, due to which she studied in 13 different schools. Her favourite schools were Kendriya Vidyalaya and Army Public School, then she recalled her days spent in the hills of Kumaon. Celina said that sometimes there was a school, but there were no teachers, and sometimes there were teachers, but the class was broken. She told how this simple life allowed her to meet the most important people in her life. Her post read, 'In the late 90s in Kendriya Vidyalaya, behind and beyond the lofty #Himalayan mountains, we lived a very simple life. Wore #SalwarKameez #uniforms, talked about #leopards that slept in our classroom the previous night, and had big dreams in our minds and eyes. Even though we did not have teachers for multiple subjects in some schools. Sometimes we even studied under trees, shared our tiffins, ate jamuns and apples on the way home, and not once did we give up on our dreams under any circumstances.'
