On Saturday morning, Bollywood stars Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff were captured playing cricket at a Mumbai ground during the 80th Independence Day celebrations. The video of their patriotic gesture quickly went viral on social media, showcasing Akshay removing his shoes, standing on a chair while holding the National Flag, and singing the national anthem alongside others.

Netizens have praised the duo for their respect and love for the country.

Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff halted their cricket match to honor the occasion, and continued playing afterward. Their commitment to their country was highlighted in a tweet from Akshay himself, who praised the pride of their flag and wished everyone a Happy Independence Day.
