Mumbai: Young stars Riva Arora, Aryan Prajapati and Jayas Kumar have looked back at their favourite

"Bedtime stories were a very big and important part of my life as I was growing up. Every night, these stories took me to a world of unending imagination. I could be anything that I wanted, a princess or even a ghost, which conquered my imagination power," Riva said.


She added: "I remember in school, my friends and I used to discuss our favourite stories with each other. My friends were scared of stories about ghosts, witches and monsters but I used to love them and find them interesting. Even now at times I open my favourite fairytales and read before I go to bed. It takes me back to my childhood."


Aryan reveals that he was fascinated with action stories.


"My favourite storyteller, like everyone else's was my grandmother. I remember climbing into bed next to her every night and not leave till she narrated my favourite bedtime story to me. I always loved listening to stories about superheroes as these stories made me feel like one, and horror-comedy stories like 'Bhoot Bandhus' because these interested me to know more about ghosts," he said.


Singer Jayas Kumar shared: "I once had a scary aunty living across the society. Every night, I used to see shadows of different animals and creatures from her window. One day, I saw the shadow of a lion suddenly changing into a dog and I screamed. My father saw me watching the window only to tell me that she is a puppeteer!" he shared, adding that he is looking forward to Nickelodeon's "Pinaki & Happy: The Bhoot Bandhus", a horror-comedy series that narrates the adventures of an 11-year boy living with ghosts.
