Mumbai, May 29 (IANS) Actress Esha Deol fondly recalls her childhood days in Ooty in 1987, reminiscing about accompanying her parents, Dharmendra and Hema Malini, on their shoots and always looking forward to spending time horse riding.

The actress recalled she would go all over the town riding the horse.

“Shanti was gentle and a dream to ride . We would go all over town and explore the hills & market places together. Miss those moments now and I’m thankful to Ramu who taught me not just horse riding but how to feed Shanti , pet her & fall in love with animals.#throwbackthursday #horseriding #ooty #hillstation #1980s #india #love #eshadeol #gratitude,” she wrote.
