As India celebrates its 73rd Republic Day today, actress Shafaq Naaz joins mid-day.com for a special conversation

What are your thoughts and memories of Republic Day?

Like every other person I also have memories of Republic Day from school time. I remember I used to perform on any patriotic song, mostly on Desh Rangeela. In the morning, patriotic songs would play everywhere.

Importance of the constitution…

I think the constitution is to save us from ourselves because if we don't have a limit or set of rules we will misuse the power and the position it's really good for the citizens I think that's one thought I have.

A patriotic song or dialogue that makes you sentimental?

I think it's definitely Vande Mataram and in Lata ma'am's voice, that song has so much power. Whenever I hear this song I get goosebumps that is the one song that makes me sentimental.
