Independence Day Special: 5 TV Actors Share What I-Day Means to Them!

The whole nation will be celebrating 73rd Independence Day today. This day in 1947, India claimed independence from the British rule after years of struggle. Many freedom fighters put forth efforts and sacrificed their lives to give us the life we live today. As we celebrate our hard earned freedom today, here is what your favorite TV actors have to say about patriotism and their love for the country.

I believe that patriotism can also be related to humanity. I feel helping someone from our country is also a form of patriotism. If you can make ten people smile a day that is also patriotism in a way,  that is how I function in my life. Only waving flags doesn't make you a patriotic person. If we become a good human being our country will also be recognized for it and India is already known for it,  the warmth and love. I think we should promote talent as well as India is really wealthy when it comes to talent. India really has it to be the number one country in the world. The song and the lyrics are beautiful, they have defined India in a very beautiful way. How much ever I travel to different countries the feel I get in India is the best. I feel India is the best country.

I agree that people only feel patriotic on 15 August. But these days like Independence day,  friendship day,  valentines day,  etc doesn't really matter to me, it's just the trend. I feel every day should be independence day or friendship day, etc. To make India the best country, people should work on small things like cleanliness. We should start it by ourselves. Even these days people don't think before planning a family, they have 4-5 kids just because they are not having a son. So I feel we should educate people about this and improve our living and after that even if we don't wish happy independence day it's fine. Putting it on social media and wishing independence day won't really help,  I feel people should follow rules and regulations to make India a better place. My favourite patriotic song is Rang de Basanti.

Ansh Bagri 

We should make education available to everyone there is still a lot of illiteracy in the country. We live in a metro city hence we assume that everyone is educated. Free education should be there for everyone. We have been talking of free education for years but still, it is not implemented. My favourite patriotic song is Mile sur mera tumhara because it reflected what India is all about. 

Shivin Narang 

India has to work on creating more employment opportunities. We have been talking of employment issue since ages but still, unemployment is rampant. My favourite patriotic song is Ae Watan from the film Raazi.

Subuhi Joshi 

To make India the best country in the world, we should start from ourselves. We will have to take some basic steps first of all. In my opinion, we can't change everything overnight. So first of all everyone should follow some basic rules to improve our locality and our society. We should not give or take bribe. No spitting or littering here and there and a strict no to dowry should be encouraged. We should raise our voice against any crime taking place in front of our eyes. We must cast our vote and pay tax regularly. There is no harm to go abroad to learn new technology or for higher education, but its our duty towards our motherland to come back and serve her. We should not discriminate people based on their gender, caste or religion. I believe that we can’t progress and achieve supremacy unless our neighbourhood, our society and our states are not developed. Aye mere vatan ke logon, zara aankh mei bhar lo paani would be my all-time favourite patriotic song
