I am not very sure if this counts as a patriotic song but A.R. Rahman’s rendition of Vande Mataram is an all time favorite.

The difference between celebrating Independence Day when you were a kid and the difference now when you have grown up?
When we were in school we were forced to celebrate Independence Day by coming early to attend the flag hoisting ceremony and taking part in school activities, whether you liked it or not. Now it’s different as a grown up. This is because nobody forces us to do anything. We celebrate coz we want to!

What do you feel about the Independence day?
This may sound like a cliché but to commemorate the day I wear a Salwar Suit and only eat Indian food.

A quote for your fans on Independence Day?
Enjoy your holiday and spare a moment for all the martyrs who laid their lives to free our country.
