Bengali actors take a 'patriotic' oath this #IndependenceDay

It’s a very important day for every Indian! We got freedom on this date (15^th August) in the year 1947. And today, we are celebrating 70^th Independence Day of India.

But should we just celebrate the day or also take oaths to be a better person so that eventually we get a better country?

Well, some of our actors have taken patriotic oath this Independence Day. Read to know what they have shared with Tellychakkar.com.

Diya Mukherjee: I love my country and I love to be termed as an Indian. Respecting all the freedom fighters, I would like to spread love and help my friends, relatives and parents. I feel we Indians are helpful and we don’t mind helping outsiders as well at the time of need. So, it will give me immense pleasure if I really get to the opportunity to help people all around the world.  

Mishmee Das: Our country is in a very bad state right now. Even after so many years of independence I don’t think the country is really independent. A country which cannot ensure safety for women shouldn’t call itself independent. If I have to take an oath, it will be not celebrating Independence Day until the government takes measures to ensure safety for everyone.  

Somraj Maity: I take an oath to utilize my platform in a more meaningful way. Despite having the right to information act, there are myriad people in our society who do not have the access to information. As a media person, I think I have that access. Also, I believe that since audience get to see me regularly on television so, out of ten people, at least three will take me seriously. So, through my platform, my work, I want to disseminate information on varied important matters.  

Ankita Majumder: I take an oath to be more disciplined in life. I will make sure that I follow the rules and regulations of society and value our culture and traditions. And I want people to respect one another. I wish that crimes and corruption get eliminated from our country.

Rehaan Roy: On this Independence Day, I want to take a step to make my country clean. It’s a small step to keep my surrounding clean. I promise not to throw things here and there at all and keep my city clean and make my country a better and a cleaner one.
