“I wish everyone a very happy Independence Day. We have completed 75 years of Independence and it’s a very glorious and proud moment for us,” says Abhishek. Speaking about the things he believes we should immediately get freedom from, Abhishek says, “Free from any kind of pressure and fear, we all should have the chance to express ourselves because freedom of speech is a very important right. India being a democratic country, has provided us with the right to express and freedom of speech and we should exercise it. Yet another thing I think we should immediately concentrate on is pollution. We need to conserve soil and save trees. This way, we can ensure a better future for our next generation.” (Photo: Facebook)

“India has completed 75 years of its Independence and it's a really proud moment for all of us. On this occasion, I would like to wish all the citizens a very happy Independence Day,” said Priya. When asked what we need to get freedom from, the actress quickly said, “I think it is environmental pollution. It is a global issue and we should immediately focus on it and save mother earth, for us and our next generation.” (Photo: Facebook)

“Living through history, may this independence day make a way for a better India. Let's hope freedom stands for the right to educate and justify the proper means to live a fearless life. I want India free from corruption, poverty, fear for the safety of women, and social evils. I wish you all a happy Independence Day,” Rahul. (Photo: Facebook)

Sayan, too, extended his heartiest wishes to everyone. Speaking about one thing he feels we should immediately get rid of, the actor said, “I think we should immediately stop littering. It’s not only a bad habit and portrays us in a bad way but it also causes pollution. That represents us in a very bad manner; as if we should only keep our home clean and pollute elsewhere.” (Photo: Facebook)
