Different people interpret Independence Day differently. For Boman Irani, it's a time to remember our martyrs, while writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar wants fellow citizens to follow the path of unity.
Tinsel town took to Twitter to express their views and wish everyone a "peaceful" day. Here is what they have to say on the occasion of the 67th Independence Day, Thursday:
Boman Irani: Rather than wishing each other, we should remember the ones who gave us freedom. Work towards an India that future generations remember you too.
Javed Akhtar: Happy Independence Day. Today let's bury all the hatchets and together sing our National Anthem from the depth of our hearts. Jai Hind.
Farhan Akhtar: Being independent means to think for yourself, not about yourself. Happy Independence Day.
