Courage and sacrifice is meant for everybody. Let us inculcate these."

Scores of other actors too wished the people on Independence Day.

Happy Independence Day!!"

Actress and politician Khushbu, in her Independence Day post, said: "As we celebrate the 75th year of Independence, let us remember every one of those who have sacrificed their lives for freedom.
