Maniesh Paul, every now and then, shares adorably honest posts. On Throwback Thursday, the actor shared a picture from the days before he stepped into the entertainment industry. The actor also recalled that the photographer at a photo studio in Delhi applied make-up to hide his pimples. "Still remember this... Dreams in my eyes...Had gone to a photo lab in Malviya Nagar, Delhi. He had even put on some make up to hide my pimples hahahahaha," he wrote and added, "He (the photographer) said ki 'bhai hero lag rahe ho'... And I believed. Kasam se himmat ki daad deni padegi iss ladke ki (I swear we have to applaud the courage of this boy)." He added, "Waise mummy ne kala dhaaga bhi pehnaya tha ki unke hero bete ko nazar naa lage hahahaha mummy."
