Akshit Sukhija

As India celebrates its 73rd Republic Day today, Akshit Sukhija aka Ishaan from Fanaa Ishq Mein Marjawaan on Colors joins mid-day.com for a special conversation.

What are your thoughts and memories of Republic Day?
Republic Day is the moment of pride and victory. It reminds us that thousands of Indians, our heroes sacrificed their lives to free the country and we all should be thankful to them, only because of them we are living this free and happy lives. I remember I used to watch parade on TV as a kid. At that time it was just another holiday but as I grew up I realised it's a lot more than just a holiday, it's a day when we pay tribute to all our heroes.

Importance of the constitution…
Constitution is very important for any country as it creates balance and peace between the government and citizens, also between the general public. A proper constitution makes sure that there is no chaos in the country, one can reach to a solution in case of different opinions and the government itself dosen't misuse its power.
