Mumbai buzzes with anticipation as Republic Day approaches on January 26, a day that stirs the soul of every Indian. Beyond the parades and flag hoisting, it’s a profound reminder of constitutional rights, duties, and the spirit of unity. For the stars of Sun Neo’s popular shows, this national holiday carries deeply personal meanings, far removed from mere rituals.
Suraj Pratap Singh, who embodies love in ‘Divya Prem: A Tale of Love and Mystery,’ recalls his childhood Republic Days with vivid nostalgia. ‘Waking up early, slipping into white clothes, clutching a tiny tricolor – those moments were magical,’ he shares. Watching the grand parade on TV with family filled him with unexplained pride. ‘I didn’t grasp the full significance back then, but patriotism seeped into my heart through songs, applause, and joyous home vibes. Those innocent memories still ignite the same fervor today.’
Akash Khandewal, portraying Shourya in ‘Satya Saachi,’ views the day as a call to responsibility. ‘True patriotism isn’t just loving the nation; it’s living honestly every day as a good citizen,’ he asserts. Republic Day urges us to honor the Constitution through integrity, ethical conduct, and spreading positivity. ‘It’s about accountability to our community and upholding core values – that’s real devotion to the country.’
Akash Jagga, playing Kundan in ‘Prathaon Ki Odhni Chunari: Bindni,’ sees it as a symbol of dream freedom. Arriving in Mumbai as a struggling actor, he’s felt the power of constitutional liberties at every step. ‘Standing before the camera, I’m proud to belong to a nation where hard work and honesty can turn any dream into reality,’ he says. This day reinforces that no ambition is too big if pursued with dedication.
