An innocuous photograph of five children posing for a selfie with a 'chappal' has gone viral and besides common men, even celebrities could not stop themselves from reacting to the picture which is all about oozing innocence.

The location of the photograph and also the hands that clicked it were unknown but its appeal on the Internet was too strong to be overlooked.

However, celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan was of the opinion that the picture was photoshopped for he felt the right hand of the child who is holding the chappal like a mobile phone was bigger compared to the rest of his body.

Atul Kasbekar, the photographer who shared the photo, however, said that it was not photoshopped as he got it checked by experts.

Here is how some common people reacted to the picture:
