Then everyone there, including him and Tiger Shroff, sang India's national anthem and celebrated Independence Day by saluting the Indian national flag. Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are true patriots and good human beings. They stopped their cricket match in the middle to celebrate Independence Day and then continued playing cricket (sic)."
