TOI: Miss flying kites on I-Day - Ankit

Ankit Gera who is currently seen in Zee TV'sSapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke as Mayank shares his Independence Day memories.

Who is your favorite freedom fighter?
Bapu for sure... unpe aaj bhi log marte hain (currency notes) broad grin. But jokes apart it is unfair to single out only one freedom fighter coz there are many unsung heroes who gave their lives for the love of their country, but sadly nobody has heard about them.

One of your favorite patriotic song?
That would Ae mere watan ke logon, zara aankh mein bhar lo paani by Lata Ji.

The difference between celebrating Independence Day when you were a kid and the difference now when you have grown up?
I really miss flying kites on Independence Day. In Delhi every Independence Day our entire family would gather at the terrace, put on loud music and indulge in kite flying competitions. I used to design my own colorful kites. I miss gazing at a colorful sky on Independence Day.

What do you feel about the Independence day?
As responsible citizens we should take the first step in making our country a better place to live in.
