“My 6-year-old thinks Tennis legend Leander Paes is a dancer,” reads the caption to the picture shared on X.
In the picture, we can see a textbook for students. They were asked to match some famous personalities with their respective professions. While the six-year-old girl correctly matches Virat Kohli and Lata Mangeshkar with their professions, she mistakenly believes that Prabhu Deva is a tennis player and Leander Paes is a dancer.
