As India celebrates its 73rd Republic Day today, Anchal Singh who stars in Netflix's 'Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein' joins mid-day.com for a special conversation

What are your thoughts and memories of Republic Day?

Being the daughter of an Indian Air Force Officer, I had the privilege of watching the parade and the tableau at Rajpath. It always used to be an exhilarating experience. For me the best part was to see the Big Boy aircraft formation of the Indian Air Force. My father had the honour of being the lead navigator for this flight. That experience was nothing short of ecstasy, a dream never to be forgotten.

Importance of the constitution…

The constitution is the backbone of our country and without this, the law and jurisdiction will not hold up.

A patriotic song or dialogue that makes you sentimental?

The famous song 'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara' sung by Bhimsen Joshi and Ashok Patni moves me. This is very close to my heart because it promotes national integration and unity in diversity.
