Commemorating what would have been the 150th birth day of the man who almost single handedly spearheaded India’s freedom struggle and tried to usher in a new era post the country’s independence, the entire nation is preparing for massive celebrations even while upholding the values and ideals of Gandhi or Bapu, as he was fondly called.

And celebrities like SRK has already set the precedent right. In a series of posts on social media platform Twitter, the actor urged his fans and followers to come forward to realise the dream of a clean India, while stressing on the hazards of open defecation, health risks of unclean toilets and benefits of waste management.
