Shilpa Shetty shares childhood throwback picture on World Education Day; highlights 'right to education'

Today, on World Education Day, celebs from Bollywood have been expressing their take on right to education. Speaking of this, Shilpa Shetty took to social media to share a rare childhood photo from her school days with an important message about how the COVID 19 pandemic has affected the lives of kids. 

She highlighted how kids cannot do normal things due to the pandemic and urged everyone to come together to ensure that children get the right to education with safety.

Taking to her Instagram handle, Shilpa shared a childhood photo from her school days in which she is seen posing with other classmates.

The Hungama 2 actress penned a thoughtful note which read,

“My heart goes out to all the kids around the globe who have been severely affected by the pandemic. They can't interact with friends, can't have a wholesome all-rounded (physical) education; but this is the need of the hour. While we can’t blatantly expose them to the virus; we need to find ways to make it up to them”.

On a closing note, she added, 

“We need to take baby steps. This World Education Day, let’s come together to ensure that not just our kids, but also kids from all walks of life can exercise their right to education without compromising on their safety. Here’s to a stronger Gen Next. Stay safe, stay healthy! Happy World Education Day!”

Lately, Shilpa has been rooting for her sister Shamita Shetty to win Bigg Boss 15. 

On the work front, Shilpa is currently judging India's Got Talent with Kirron Kher, Manoj Muntashir and Badshah. She made her comeback in the films last year with Hungama 2 co-starring Paresh Rawal, Meezaan and Pranitha Subhash.
