The Story in Brief
Actor Kartik Aaryan will attend President Droupadi Murmu's 'At Home Reception' at Rashtrapati Bhavan on August 15, Independence Day. He is the only Bollywood actor among the distinguished invitees from public service, sports, the armed forces and the arts.
The invitation follows his Best Actor win at the 72nd National Film Awards for portraying India's first Paralympic gold medallist, Murlikant Petkar, in the film 'Chandu Champion'. The annual reception brings together national leaders and achievers for a formal gathering hosted by the President.
The Indian Opinion
The invite is a personal milestone for Kartik, but the media focus risks turning a national ceremony into a celebrity showcase. Independence Day honours India's journey and its quiet contributors, soldiers, scientists, citizens. A Bollywood face doesn't diminish that, but the coverage should balance it. The test will be whether Kartik uses the platform to spotlight his film's subject, Murlikant Petkar, a forgotten hero, or simply poses for photos.
