Here's what the celebrities had to say:
Sophie Choudry:u00a0Gandhiji's speeches/thoughts are so progressive, relevant, enlightening even today. Wish there were more like him.
Aditi Rao Hydari:u00a0Happy to you Gandhiji! (sic) As a nation I wish we followed you, respected your work and remembered you more than we do.
Aditi Rao Hydari
Dia Mirza:u00a0Mahatma Gandhi: "Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?" Happy Birthday Bapu.
Yami Gautam:u00a0So many wishes on Gandhi Jayanti. But are we merely wishing each other or celebrating it too, makes me ponder. Jai Hind.
Kunal Kohli: The only thing Gandhiji would say if he saw the state of the nation today would be "Hey Ram" (Oh god!).
Vishal Dadlani: October 2nd. The day a lazy nation takes a holiday in the name of a man who said we should work 24 hours a day. Sorry Gandhiji.
Satish Kaushik: Wishing everyone Gandhi Jayanti...Salute to father of the nation.
Anupam Kher: Two Great Indians born on the same day. Their contribution in our lives is incomparable. Happy Birthday to Bapu and to Lal Bahadur Shastriji. Jai Ho.
Isha Koppikar: Happy Gandhiji Jayanti. Sad to see how the youth has displayed pictures and their status (on social networking websites) saying 'Dry Day' and 'stock leke rakho'. He's 'The Father of The Nation'.
