 Actors recall their fond Republic Day memories from School days!

Republic Day is celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm, symbolizing the spirit of

unity and patriotism. &TV actors, take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing

how they celebrated Republic Day during their school years. These include Smita

Sable (Dhaniya from Bheema), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan

Paltan), and Vidisha Srivastava (Anita Bhabi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Smita Sable,

aka Dhaniya in Bheema, adds, “For me, Republic Day was synonymous with cultural

programs at school. I loved being part of skits and dances that showcased India’s

freedom struggle and vibrant culture. The rehearsals were as enjoyable as the

performances. Those celebrations were not just about the performances but about

being part of a larger celebration of our nation and its incredible journey. May we all

work together to uphold the values of our Constitution and create a brighter future

for our nation.”

Geetanjali Mishra, aka Rajesh in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, recalls, “As a child, Republic

Day celebrations at school began with an inspiring assembly, where we recited

patriotic poems like ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’ and ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai.’ I eagerly participated in

elocution competitions, diving deep into stories of India’s independence and the

making of our Constitution. The flag hoisting ceremony, with the national anthem

playing, was deeply moving. We stood still, saluting the flag with immense pride and

respect. At home, my family and I would watch the Republic Day parade on television,

admiring the bravery of soldiers and the colorful tableaux representing India’s diverse

states. Those moments taught me the importance of unity, diversity, and service to

the nation—lessons I carry with me today.” Vidisha Srivastava, aka Anita Bhabi in

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “Republic Day celebrations in school were grand events

that brought everyone together. I have vivid memories of participating in group

dances and wearing outfits in the colors of our national flag—orange, white, and

green. Performing songs like ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Desh Rangeela’ was exhilarating.

The stories and speeches shared by our teachers about the making of the Constitution

inspired us to dream big and contribute to our nation’s progress. Those celebrations

instilled in me eternal love for our country that only grows stronger with time.”
