As India comes together to commemorate its 77th Republic Day, the occasion serves as a meaningful reminder of the ideals that form the foundation of the nation. Celebrated with immense pride across the country, the day honours the adoption of the Constitution and reaffirms the principles of democracy, equality, justice, and unity that guide India forward. Beyond the parades and festivities, Republic Day invites citizens to pause, reflect, and renew their commitment to the values that bind the nation together.
On this special occasion, Nishi Saxena, who plays Nandini in Zee TV’s show, Vasudha, produced by Arvind Babbal Productions, shares her personal reflections on what Republic Day signifies to her, both as an individual and as a responsible citizen of the country.
She says, “For me, Republic Day truly celebrates the spirit of inclusivity, resilience, and strength that defines India as a nation. It is a powerful reminder that despite our diverse backgrounds, languages, cultures, and beliefs, we are united by the shared values enshrined in our Constitution. This day makes me reflect on the journey of our country and the countless voices that have shaped its identity over the years. Republic Day inspires us to respect every individual’s story and acknowledge the importance of equality, dignity, and freedom for all.”
She goes on to say, “I strongly believe that when we consciously practice kindness, fairness, and understanding in our everyday lives, we genuinely honour the essence of this day. It’s not just about celebration, but also about responsibility—being mindful citizens who uplift one another. Republic Day is a moment to pause, reflect, learn from the past, and move forward with hope, unity, and a renewed commitment to building a better tomorrow together.”
