    The double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker shared a video of her playing the tune of the National Anthem on a violin, saying, "An attempt to play the tune that is closest to my heart this Independence Day. Each time I represent India, I wish to stand on the podium and listen to this. Generally, we sit and play the violin, but this time subconsciously, we stood up while playing the National Anthem. It's the admiration for our nation that cannot be put into words."
