As India celebrates its 78th Independence Day on the 15th of August, the nation is filled with pride and joy. The day is marked by the hoisting of the national flag and singing the #NationalAnthem, honouring the sacrifices of our freedom fighters. &TV artists Amit Bhardwaj, who is playing Mewa in the newly launched show ‘Bheema,’ Ashutosh Kulkarni (Krishan Bihari Vajpayee, Atal), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai) express their pride and love for the nation.
Amit Bhardwaj, who plays Mewa in Bheema, says, “On this 78th Independence Day, my heart swells with love and pride for our incredible nation. I am deeply grateful for the progress we have made in various fields, from science and technology to arts and sports. Our achievements on the global stage reflect the hard work and innovation of our people. As we look towards the future, let us continue to strive for excellence, embrace our diversity, and work together to build a brighter future for our beloved country. Jai Hind!”
Ashutosh Kulkarni, who plays Krishan Bihari Vajpayee in Atal, shares, “India’s diversity is a source of boundless joy. From the colourful festivals and vibrant traditions to the unity that binds us, every aspect of our culture fills me with pride. Our nation’s unique blend of languages, customs, and beliefs is a beautiful mosaic that I cherish deeply. Reflecting on our progress over the past 78 years fills me with happiness. We have achieved remarkable milestones in various fields. On this momentous day, I urge every citizen to reflect on what independence means to them personally. Let us teach our children about the sacrifices made by our forefathers and instil in them a sense of pride and responsibility. By doing so, we ensure that the legacy of our freedom fighters lives on and that the spirit of independence continues to thrive in the hearts of future generations.”
Geetanjali Mishra, who portrays Rajesh in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan adds, ” On this Independence Day, while paying tribute to our freedom fighters and soldiers, I also want to honour our national heroes working in various fields including police force, medical, social workers, sports, entertainment, and those in science and technology. Many remarkable individuals have consistently made India proud with their extraordinary achievements, embodying the true spirit of our independence. I pray for India’s continued growth and that we celebrate our independence every day.”
Shubhangi Atre, renowned for her role as Angoori Bhabi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai mentions, “Independence is both a great privilege and a profound responsibility. We must never forget how difficult it was to achieve freedom, and we must celebrate the great contributions of our freedom fighters.  Each Independence Day, I take my daughter Ashi to our society’s flag hoisting ceremony and remind her to honour our freedom fighters who made it possible for us to live freely and pursue our dreams. I encourage all my fans and viewers to do the same, ensuring that future generations understand the true meaning of freedom.”
