Sumbul Touqeer on Youth of India

Sumbul Touqeer who plays the title role in Kavya: Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon is excited about Republic Day. She said, "I am proud to be Indian. It has diverse cultures co-existing. I remember watching the Parade on TV with my family and flag hosting ceremony in school. The tri-color flag evokes patriotic feelings." 

On being asked about the Youth of India, she continued, "Today's youth, despite appearing less patriotic, actually cares about the country. Youth have a mind and heart too and do support the nation when they see progress." Sumbul disagrees with the idea that Republic Day is just a holiday, emphasizing that the youth question things and social media help them connect with the country and are expressive.
