We
the
people
of
India
will
be
celebrating
the
75th
year
of
Independence
on
August
15,
2022.
This
year,
we
will
pay
respect
to
the
real
heroes
like
doctors,
nurses,
policemen
and
army
men
of
the
country,
who
are
working
hard
in
their
respective
fields
amid
the
Coronavirus
pandemic.
Patriotism
is
not
limited
to
hoisting
the
flag
and
singing
patriotic
songs,
but
showing
love
towards
the
people
of
our
country
and
contributing
something
for
the
nation's
betterment.
Talking
about
entertainment,
the
showbiz
industry
has
been
showing
us
patriotism
through
TV
shows,
movies
and
web
series.
Indian
film
industry
has
produced
various
films
on
freedom
fighters
and
the
historic
characters
of
India.
However,
people
only
know
Bollywood
stars
like
Ajay
Devgn
(Bhagat
Singh),
Aamir
Khan
(Mangal
Pandey)
and
others
for
their
portrayal
of
freedom
fighters.
Because
of
Hindi
cinema's
reach
and
stars'
popularity,
viewers
sometimes
miss
some
of
the
notable
performances
of
regional
actors
who
played
iconic
historical
figures

India.

the

of
