"Freedom in our minds, faith in our words and pride in our souls," Kareena captioned her image that has son Taimur holding a flag.

"We in 2020 are now in a better situation to comprehend what an infringement on our freedom truly means. It may only be a fraction of the time and a fraction of the scope of what our fore parents endured but it is enough for us to value our liberties and look forward to the return of the old normal. #happyindependenceday #jaihind," Soha wrote along with an image of her daughter Inaaya with a handmade flag.

"Happy Independence Day. Jai Hind," Abhishek Bachchan tweeted.
