Katrina Kaif and Saif Ali Khan in Phantom'We should openly accept each other's religion and faiths,' Saif Ali Khan tells Patcy N/ Rediff.com

On Independence Day, Saif Ali Khan voices his thoughts and tells us what freedom means to him:

Freedom means we should respect everybody's freedom.

Not every country is free; I am very proud to be a part of the largest democracy of the world.

All of us should value freedom, and not just because some people gave up their lives to give it to us.

After doing Phantom, I got aware of how the army and the secret services have a big role in keeping us secure and free.

I would like to see a more secular India.

Sometimes I feel we have become polarised in the religious stands that we take about Hindu and Muslims.

I would like us to accept the fact that with freedom, we should accept each other and be more tolerant.

We should openly accept each other's religion and faiths.
