Shirley Setia: I remember looking forward to Republic Day with my family

Shirley Setia

As India celebrates its 73rd Republic Day today, singer and actress Shirley Setia joins mid-day.com for a special conversation.

What are your thoughts and memories of Republic Day?
I remember looking forward to Republic Day with my family to witness the flag hoisting on television live. Seeing everyone gathered on the ground with such high spirits ready for flag hoisting and march post that had an infectious energy one could not miss.

Importance of the constitution…
Constitution is the center of everything. Without a set of rules laid down it won't be possible for a society to function together in harmony.

A patriotic song or dialogue that makes you sentimental?
The Rang De Basanti title track would have to be one of my favourite songs. Apart from the song the entire movie and message it sends across definitely makes it a classic. There are way too many favourites.
