We have actor Rahul Bose to thank for this priceless old photograph of another Rahul.
On July 19, Rahul Bose started the hashtag #WhenIWas13 to promote his film
Poorna. Rahul Khanna responded with a picture of his 13-year-old self enjoying some down time with one of the four-legged friends he mentions.
At 13, this Rahul was a reader with hair problem. We'd say the wardrobe might have been in need of a few solutions too.
That's Rahul Bose at 13.
The hashtag trended on Twitter and received a clutch of adorable responses. Here are some.
From the feted Shabana Azmi. Rahul's response: "Do it again! The world must see you once in an over the top performance."
From Harsha Bhogle. Rahul's response: "Was the broom handle a mic?"
From Mandira Bedi, who he goes back a long way with. Rahul's response: "I remember you clearly in school. Even then you had bright, alive eyes."
The movie
Poorna, directed by Rahul Bose, is the story of a 13-year-old girl from Telangana who created history on May 25, 2014, by becoming the youngest girl in the world to conquer the Mount Everest.
