As the Nation marks its 77th Republic Day, the occasion goes beyond ceremonial grandeur to celebrate the spirit of India’s democracy and the values that shape its identity. It is a day that commemorates the coming into force of the Constitution while reminding citizens of the rights, duties, and responsibilities that come with freedom. Republic Day stands as a symbol of unity in diversity, encouraging every Indian to uphold the principles of equality, justice, and mutual respect in their daily lives.
Reflecting on the significance of this historic day, Rajendra Chawla, who essays the role of Srinivas in Zee TV’s Lakshmi Niwas, produced by Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, shares his thoughts on what Republic Day means to him. For the actor, the day serves as a powerful reminder of the collective strength of the Nation and the importance of contributing positively to society as a mindful and responsible citizen.
Rajendra Chawla says, “Republic Day reminds us of the wisdom and foresight of those who laid the foundation of our democracy. Our Constitution teaches us the importance of discipline, mutual respect, and unity. As citizens and as elders, it becomes our duty to pass on these values to the younger generation. When families and communities live by these principles, the nation naturally grows stronger. Republic Day is a reminder to uphold these foundations with sincerity and pride.”
Lakshmi Niwas launched on January 12, 2026. The show has been doing well and has also done well on the TRP charts. The show also stars Manasi Joshi Roy, Mansi Srivastava, Hemant Thatte, Akshita Mudgal, Raghav Tiwari and others.
