Independence Day 2019: Priyanka Chopra to Taimur Ali Khan, Bollywood celebrities who donned the Indian tri-color

Today, India celebrates its 73rd Independence Day and Bollywood has two big movies lined up to give your patriotic feeling a big push. ‘Mission Mangal’, which traces India’s space mission and ‘Batla House’, which will showcase an intense cop story, have hit the screens. And if that wasn’t enough, we have traced pictures of our Bollywood celebrities, expressing their patriotic feelings, dressed proudly in the Indian tri-colour.

Though the actress faced backlash for flaunting a tricolor dupatta, there were others who appreciated the gesture as her love for the country. Last year, Priyanka posted a Boomerang video on Instagram on the eve of Independence Day, wherein she was wearing a tri-color dupatta and proudly waving it. Though it was done without any intention to demean the Indian flag, the actress was trolled for the video.

One of the most celebrated star kid of Bollywood, Taimur Ali Khan, always has something entertaining up his sleeve. In a short span of time, he had become friends with the media and shares a friendly bond with them. Taimur was clicked in a tricolored T-shirt last year on Independence Day. Not only was he was dressed with a patriotic intention, but he also hoisted the flag at his residence.

Salman Khan chose a unique way to express his feelings on Independence Day last year. While other Bollywood celebrities were wishing fans on social media, the 'Bharat' star did it differently. He shared a picture with brothers Arbaaz and Sohail, each wearing a colour of the Indian flag and gave it an interesting caption too. He wrote, "Emotionally dependent on Independence Day." Well, we loved this gesture of bhai!

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone enjoy a huge fan following. While browsing through social media we stumbled upon a photo of SRK and Deepika from the movie, 'Happy New Year'. Both the stars are dressed in tri-colour costumes as they represented India in a dance competition in the film. While SRK played a proud Indian in the film, back in 2012, he was booked for insulting the National flag in a video shared on social media.

'Saaho' star Mandira Bedi and tri-colour sarees often make headlines. Earlier, she was trolled for insulting the tricolor as she wore a saree, which had an image of the Indian tri-colour below her waist, which was against the constitutional norm. While on another occasion, the actress flaunted the tri-colour in a stylish saree at an event.
