<p>Union Minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani once again took to the photo-sharing app Instagram on Wednesday to take her fans on a trip down memoery lane.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well, it seems as if the BJP leader is missing her childhood days which is why her latest post is not only relatable but also hard-hitting. Taking to Instagram, Irani recalled her childhood days and said that those carefree days were better than growing up.</p>
<p><img title="Irani-Childhood-Days" src="https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2020/jun/Irani-Childhood-Days.jpg" alt="Irani-Childhood-Days" /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>A screengrab of Smriti Irani-s Instagram story</strong></em></span></p>
<p>The 44-year-old minister, who is also a mother of two shared a picture as her Instagram story featuring a quote about childhood written on it. In the animated picture, a child can be seen sitting on the edge of a cemented block. "<em>Bachpan hi theek tha, daant tootte the, dil nahi</em> Childhood was better. Teeth were broken, not heart," with the text written in Hindi on it.</p>

<p>Well, we couldn-t argue but agree with Smriti Irani-s post on childhood days. A few days ago, the Union Textile Minister had shared an adorable video to wish her best friend and television producer-director Ekta Kapoor on her 45th birthday.&nbsp;</p>
