India is celebrating its 74th Independence Day today. However, this year is certainly unlike any ever since we got Independence in 1947. For the first time, people will not gather in crowds to raise the Tricolour together or sing the National Anthem in chorus.

In the era of COVID-induced social distancing, celebration is an individual affair. Like everyone else, Bollywood celebrities, too, are keeping this in mind. But, they have extended their wishes via social media on this special occasion.

From Amitabh Bachchan to Priyanka Chopra, everyone is enjoying the day while maintaining social distancing norms.

Amitabh Bachchan took to his Twitter handle and shared his best wishes along with a couple of pictures. He wrote, “the true warriors in the fight against CoviD .. salute .. and on this auspicious day of our Independence wishes for peace prosperity (sic).”
