Independence
Day
is
around
the
corner!
Popular
television
actors
Devoleena
Bhattacharjee,
Arshi
Khan
and
Waseem
Mushtaq
shared
with
Filmibeat
their
views
on
Independence
Day.
Although
the
day
is
very
important
to
everyone,
the
actors
feel
that
today,
a
few
people
are
just
treating
this
day
as
just
a
holiday!
Saath
Nibhaana
Saathiya
actress
Devoleena
said,
"Independence
Day
matters
a
lot.
It's
a
day
marked
as
one
of
the
holidays.
We
have
become
busy
with
our
work
lives,
August
15
is
merely
seen
as
another
day
of
holiday.
Some
people
plan
a
vacation
trip,
while
other
busy
people
might
have
planned
to
finish
their
pending
work
on
this
day.
And
a
few
might
want
to
sleep
through
the
whole
day!
Well,
not
denying
the
fact
that
the
feeling
of
independence
and
respect
for
August
15
will
always
persist
in
our
heart,
but
the
enthusiasm
to
celebrate
this
day
may
have
taken
a
backseat
somewhere
down
the
line
which
is
actually
sad."
Bigg
Boss'
Arshi
Khan
told
us,
"Independence
Day
is
special
for
everyone,
be
it
a
child
or
an
adult.
It
is
the
day
of
patriotism.
We
cannot
help
but
get
nostalgic
of
this
very
day
every
year.
Because
today
celebrations
has
taken
back
stage!
In
the
morning,
people
play
desh
bhakti
song
and
the
rest
of
the
day
is
like
another
holiday."
Waseem
Mushtaq,
who
is
seen
in
Sasural
Simar
Ka
2,
wants
people
to
raise
their
voice
and
get
freedom
from
social
stigmas
and
rise
above
the
religious
and
caste
discrimination.
He
said,
"We
got
our
freedom
from
the
British
rule
on
this
historic
day,
but
we
still
have
a
lot
more
to
do,
to
be
truly
free
...
free
from
the
social
stigmas
and
rise
above
the
religious
and
caste
discrimination.
So
on
this
day,
we
all
should
do
our
little
bit
towards
warding
off
the
social
evils
which
still
plague
us."
