Hardik Panyda, Virat Kohli and other cricketers extend their wishes on Independence day

India is celebrating Independence Day today. The occasion is special because it’s the 75th year of independence and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had urged the citizens to change their profile picture to a ‘Tiranga’; an initiative to unite the people of the country in a drive to honour the tricolor. Meanwhile, reactions are pouring in on social media.
