In a rare display of unity, Indians and Pakistanis came together to celebrate their respective Independence Days in London, UK. The festivities, captured in a viral video, showcase a shared love for Indian films and music, transcending the usual rivalry between the two nations.
India and Pakistan celebrate their Independence Days just a day apart-Pakistan on August 14 and India on August 15. The London celebration this year turned into news as people from both countries come together to celebrate, singing popular songs like "Jai Ho" from the Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire and AR Rahman's version of "Vande Mataram."
