The Story in Brief
On Independence Day 2026, Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra shared contrasting yet patriotic messages on social media. SRK wrote about the special feeling of being Indian, celebrating the colours, contrasts and belonging to something bigger. Priyanka posted a hoisted flag and wrote she is proud of where we have come from and hopeful about where we are headed.
Cinemaexpress reports that SRK's post comes months after his nationalism was questioned by a BJP representative over his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders' decision to sign Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman amid geopolitical tensions, leading to the player's release. Priyanka has often been associated with the ruling government due to her public interactions with PM Modi.
The Indian Opinion
Both stars faced opposite accusations: SRK branded unpatriotic for hiring a Bangladeshi player, Priyanka seen as too cosy with the ruling party. Yet their Independence Day messages echoed the same core pride in India's diversity and future. The real test is whether the same critics will now accept their patriotism or find fresh reasons to doubt. After all, nationalism is not proved by a social media post.
