The country is celebrating its Independence Day today. On this occasion, Indian celebrities shared a glimpse of the celebration at their homes. This Independence Day was special for Kiara Advani and Tamannaah Bhatia. The actresses represented the country on various platforms. While Kiara was at the Wagah Border a couple of days ago, Tamannaah went to New Jersey to be a part of the India Day Parade.

Kiara shared a video from her visit to the Wagah Border. She interacted with the BSF, played Tug Of War, danced with the soldiers and also learnt rifle shooting. Her caption read, "Happy Independence Day my fellow countrymen. While every year our hearts swell with pride on this day remembering all the brave hearts of India, this year my experience was personal and one that I will cherish forever. With team NDTV I had the privilege of spending the day with the BSF (Border Security Force) who took me through a day in their lives, from a rigorous training routine, to the border patrolling measures, their trials and tribulations, their cultural programmes, the beating retreat ceremony and above all, their unwavering spirit of patriotism that filled my heart with gratitude for all their sacrifices. May we always hold our constitution high and make our country proud for all those souls who fought tirelessly to earn us the freedom we enjoy today. Happy Independence Day. Jai Hind."

Sharing a glimpse from the India Day Parade, Tamannaah wrote, "From the heart of India to the streets of New Jersey... Being a part of the India Day Parade thousands of miles from my own country was exhilarating. 🇮🇳♥️ Even though oceans separated me from home, the spirit of India resonated within me, shared by the thousands of my fellow Indians who lined the streets, joining me in celebrating everything that embodies the essence of our nation. Interacting with everyone there was truly heartwarming… the unity and energy on display was also so infectious. Thank you for this incredible experience, New Jersey! No matter where we are, the Tiranga always stands high and strong! On this special day, I would like to wish everyone a ‘Happy Independence Day'!"
