Every year on January 26, most of us are glued to our TV screens watching the parade. Republic Day is the day you feel all the more patriotic and feel immense love for your country. Here's what our TV celebs have to say about watching the parade on Republic Day.
Sharad Malhotra
Celebrating Republic Day as a kid was a different feeling. We would have a flag hoisting at school, and then we were given sweets. But as I grew up and learned about the Indian Constitution, I realised the importance of this day. Now when I am not shooting I watch the whole parade at home and then relish some jalebis. It, of course, fills you with a sense of pride and patriotism.
Kettan Singh
I have never missed watching the parade ever in my life, and it was my dream to watch it live because I always felt that if watching it on TV filled me with so much patriotism, then watching it live will be something else. And I want this dream of mine to come true.
Srishti Jain
In school, we had a big celebration on Republic Day, but sadly since we've grown up and started working it has become more of a holiday. None the less, the building I live in celebrates Republic Day with enthusiasm. Also, my father and I love watching the parade.
Vijayendra Kumeria
Every year I make sure I watch the parade along with my family. It makes me feel proud. But at the same time, I feel one needs to be a citizen who abides by the Constitution every day and not just feels patriotic on one or two days. Whatever you do, don't let the sacrifices of the soldiers who fought or are still fighting for our country go in vain.
Nishant Singh Malkhani
As a kid, I loved watching the parade, though I couldn't watch it every year because of the ceremonies held at school. Now, I make sure that I watch it without fail. Even if you feel patriotic the whole year, watching the parade makes you feel more patriotic, and you want to do anything in your power for your country.
