Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff paid tribute to India’s revered freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev on Shaheed Diwas, observed on March 23. Sharing a picture on social media, Shroff displayed illustrated portraits of the three revolutionaries against the Ashoka Chakra and the Indian tricolour. The image bore the text “Their Sacrifice! Our Freedom!” along with hashtags like #ShaheedDiwas and #FreedomFighters.
Shaheed Diwas, commemorated annually on March 23, marks the martyrdom of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar, who were hanged by the British colonial government in 1931. These brave individuals symbolize courage, patriotism, and unwavering dedication to India’s freedom struggle. Bhagat Singh, renowned for his fearless ideology and anti-British activities, stands as an iconic figure in Indian history.
Bhagat Singh was not alone in his fight; Rajguru and Sukhdev also played significant roles in the revolutionary movement, including the assassination of British officer J.P. Saunders in protest against colonial rule. Despite their young age, their sacrifice continues to inspire generations, even 95 years after their martyrdom. Jackie Shroff, known for commemorating cinema legends and milestones, consistently pays tribute to icons like Madhubala, Sridevi, and Shashi Kapoor on their special days.
