As India celebrates its 78th Independence Day, Bollywood actress Sonam Khan, celebrated for her exceptional talent and captivating screen presence, reflects on her profound love for the country. Known for her impactful performances, from her debut in Vijay to her notable roles in Aakhri Ghulam and Lashkar, Sonam’s career was further elevated by her iconic role in the 1989 classic Tridev.

I’m proud to be part of the world’s largest democracy. As a child, I remember the excitement of holding the national flag and the joy of knowing school was closed for the day. Those simple moments still resonate with me, reminding me of the true spirit of freedom.” Sonam’s sense of patriotism extends to her concerns about the national flag’s treatment after celebrations. “Seeing the national flag discarded on the roads afterward is completely unacceptable. People should respect the flag it represents our country, which has shaped who we are. For me, the country always comes first, and this has been my belief since I was old enough to form my own thoughts as a child,” she expresses. Reflecting on India’s evolution over the past 78 years, Sonam acknowledges the nation’s significant progress. “India has evolved significantly over the years. While I can’t speak to the full 78 years, I can certainly say that in the last 40 years, since I became aware of the world around me, the progress has been remarkable. India is on the path to becoming an incredibly powerful nation, and I see only great things in our future,” she notes with optimism. When considering how the spirit of Independence Day has changed over the years, Sonam maintains her focus on personal values. “I don’t have much to say about how Independence Day has evolved over the years because I tend to mind my own business. But one thing is certain I’ve always been and always will be a patriotic person. My parents taught me one simple lesson: your country comes first. That’s something I’ve always lived by,” she concludes.
