National Farmers Day in India is also known as Kisan Divas in Hindi. Farmer's Day is observed every year on December 23, the birthday of India's 5th Prime Minister, Choudhary Charan Singh, who was also a farmer's leader and implemented numerous programs to enhance the lives of Indian farmers.
Aarya Babbar, who essays the role of Kalikant Thakur in Jagriti-Ek Nayi Subah said, "Farmers are of utmost importance in shaping the future of our nation, tirelessly working in difficult conditions to provide us with the nourishment we need. Their hard work, determination, and resilience are the pillars upon which our agriculture and economy stand. Kisan Diwas is a reminder to recognize the sacrifices they make daily to feed millions of people. As we celebrate this day, let us commit to supporting the farmers, understand their struggles, and work together to create a better, more sustainable future for agriculture in India. Let’s ensure their efforts are valued, respected, and appreciated every single day.
Aarya had earlier shared, “I am really grateful to the viewers for all the love and recognition they are giving me for Kalikant Thakur. For me, it’s an overwhelming feeling to be even mentioned in the same sentence as Vinod Khanna sir, he was and is indeed a legend, having given iconic movies and characters to our industry. I have actually studied his character Jabbar Singh from Mera Gaon Mera Desh as it is one of the iconic films of Indian cinema. I feel that the kind of aura and personality Kalikant Thakur exudes in the show derives inspiration from this character of Vinod Khanna sir. People are tagging me in different posts on social media and my DMs are also full of these messages. I must say that my hard work is definitely paying off and my heart is full of love and gratitude. I am also glad that for the first time, I am being compared to some other actor's father and not my own father (laughs)."
