New Delhi:

For Taapsee Pannu, “getting into a swimming pool is joy” now but things weren’t exactly the same for the actress nine years ago. The Pink actress, in her latest post on Instagram, revealed that after having “a scary near-drowning experience in a pool” during her childhood, she stayed away from pools for a long time before she overcame the fear of swimming 9 years ago. Taapsee shared a BTS photo from her ad shoot for the consumer healthcare brand Women’s Horlicks, of which she is the brand ambassador, and wrote: “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 how learning has no age and probably the child in me is still alive,” she added.
