Republic Day holds a special place in the heart of actor Tejasswi Prakash. The 31-year-old, who is currently part of the cooking-based TV show Laughter Chefs – Unlimited Entertainment, has fond memories of the day from her childhood. For Tejasswi, Republic Day was not just about the celebrations or the parade but about enjoying a break from school. “As a child, I loved Republic Day because it meant no school. I would wake up to patriotic songs playing in the background, enjoy traditional snacks, and spend time with my family,” she recalls with a smile.
However, as Tejasswi grew older, her understanding of Republic Day deepened. She now sees the significance of the day as not only a celebration of India’s constitution but also a time to reflect on the pride of being part of a democratic nation. “As you grow up, you begin to understand what your country means to you. You realize how blessed we are to live in the world’s biggest democracy,” she says thoughtfully.
Republic Day is a reminder of the history and struggles that led to the country’s independence. It is about honoring the values that the nation stands for – democracy, equality, and justice. For Tejasswi, this day is more than just a national holiday; it’s a time to celebrate everything India offers. “Republic Day is a day to not only celebrate the institution of the constitution in our country but also a day of pride, to celebrate India and being Indian,” she adds.
In an industry like entertainment, where opportunities sometimes seem few and far between, Tejasswi feels grateful for everything India has provided her. From a simple childhood to a career that has allowed her to showcase her talent on various platforms, she sees India as a land where dreams really can come true. “I feel lucky to have worked in shows that reflect the diversity of this country,” she explains. “It’s a privilege to be able to share stories from such a rich and diverse culture.”
This Republic Day, Tejasswi will be working. Though she is busy with her shoot, she says she is looking forward to spending the day with a sense of patriotism even while on set. “While I’ll be shooting, I am excited about celebrating the day in my own way. Being in the industry has taught me how to stay connected to my roots no matter where I am,” she says.
It’s clear that for Tejasswi, Republic Day represents a celebration of India’s journey, culture, and the opportunities that arise from living in such a dynamic country. As she reflects on her career and the path it has taken, she encourages others to appreciate the rich culture and diversity that defines India.
Whether she is shooting for her next big project or spending time with her loved ones, Tejasswi continues to cherish the essence of Republic Day. It’s a time to remember the struggles of the past, to honor the present, and to look forward to the future with pride. For her, it’s a reminder that India truly is a country where dreams come true.
