I had heard about Mangal Pandey, too, and I used to get really angry at the Britishers. In fact, even now I feel Britain is indebted to us. I had actually gone to Jallianwala Bagh a few years ago, too, and I could actually sense what happened there several decades ago.”While Vivek Oberoi’s heartfelt speech will surely stir everyone’s patriotic spirits, wait till you see the performances by our talented contestants.
