As the country celebrated Gandhi Jayanti on 2 October, B-Towners took to social media to pay tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary.

Gandhi Jayanti is also celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence all over the world.

On this occasion, several Hindi film celebrities such as Anupam Kher, Taapsee Pannu, and Manoj Bajpayee took to social media and spoke of the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and shared his words of wisdom.

Anupam Kher: Pujniya Bapuji. Janm tithi par aapko pranam aur shat shat naman! Aap twitter par bhale aap keval aaj ya 30 january ko trend karte ho. Par aap bhartiyo ke dilon main 15, August 1947 se trend kar rahe ho! Isliye toh Mahatma Gandhi ho. Tension mat lena… Choti moti problems hain par desh acha chal raha hai.

(Dear Bapuji. Gratitude on your birth anniversary. You may trend on Twitter only today or on January 30th, but you trend in every Indian’s heart since 1947. That is why you are Mahatma Gandhi. Don’t take too much tension. We have small problems but the country is doing good.)

पूजनीय बापू। जन्म तिथि पर आपको प्रणाम एवं शत् शत् नमन। आप @Twitter पर भले केवल आज या 30 जनवरी को ही trend करते हो। पर हर भारतीय के दिल में 15 अगस्त, 1947 से trend कर रहे हो। इसीलिए तो #महात्मगांधी हो। टेन्शन मत लेना। छोटी मोटी है प्रॉब्लमस है। पर देश अच्छा चल रहा है।जय हो।🙏🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/gn0Jy8b7WB

On occasion of Lal Bahadur Shastri’s bday, the man who gave us the slogan “Jai jawaan Jai Kissaan” & on #GandhiJayanti, this is how we are honouring our farmers who are legitimately protesting their crisis conditions.. #AchheyDin #NewIndia #SHAME https://t.co/XJaTd1k3D8

Nandita Das: Remembering Gandhi is to remember the importance of truth and non-violence. As it’s a holiday, maybe you could watch ‘Manto’ who too believed in the same values, though he imparted them very differently. Through his life and his stories.
