Childhood is filled with innocence. During the nascent years we tend to learn a lot many things from our parents, teachers and relatives. And whatever they used to say back then we believed completely. But everything was not true. Some were facts while others sheer rumour.

Today Twitter took us on a nostalgic trip with the hashtag #WorstChildhoodRumors.

Hence we called up TV stars and asked them about their worst childhood rumour. Here’s an interesting read.
