Don't abuse your freedom: Asha Negi
Asha Negi aka Purvi of Zee TV's Pavitra Rishta loves decorating her room with tri-color balloons and a national flag. The actress shares her thoughts on freedom and Independence Day.
Who is your favorite freedom fighter? Has to be Mr. Ram Mohan Roy for making India what it is today and for visualizing a Modern India.
One of your favorite patriotic song? Every patriotic song touches my heart, however out national anthem never fails to make me emotional each time I hear it.
The difference between celebrating Independence Day when you were a kid and the difference now when you have grown up? As a kid, I would love to wake up early and dress up for the flag hoisting that was held in my school. I miss doing that now.
What do you feel about the Independence day? While I might listen to and get emotional each time I listen to our national anthem when I go for a movie - to watch the Independence day celebrations across the country on my Television screen is something else. The very joy of seeing my countrymen celebrating their independence is something else.
A quote for your fans on Independence Day? Use and do not abuse your freedom and live it up for your country.
