New Delhi, Aug. 16 -- Renown lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar hit back at a troll who asked him to celebrate Pakistani's Independence Day which falls on August 14, and not India's Independence Day.

On the occasion of India's 79th Independence Day, Javed Akhtar had posted on X, "Happy Independence Day to all my Indian sisters and brothers. Let's not forget this independence was not given to us on a platter. Today we must remember and salute those who Went to jails and those went to gallows for getting us Azaadi . Let's see that we never lose this precious gift."

An X user commented on Akhtar's post in no time. "Aapka happy independence to 14th August hai [Your Independence Day is on August 14]," the post read.

This prompted a repl...
