Here's what Taapsee wrote in her caption, ''Those were the days....This was while I was shooting for an ad for my brand (@) Womens Horlicks Getting into a swimming pool is joy for me but it wasn’t always like that. Had a scary near-drowning experience in a pool when I was a kid so got really scared of learning how to swim. It was only 9 years back that I finally got over that fear and learnt swimming. I Remember swimming laps in an indoor pool alongside many kids in the same class and it made me feel that how learning has no age n probably the child in me is still alive (emoji) and added the hashtags - (#) Throwback (#) Archive (#) Quarantine Post''.
