  • Celebs hope Mahatma Gandhi's legacy lives on forever
On 148th birth anniversary of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, Indian stars like Kamal Haasan, Kabir Bedi, Anil Kapoor and Anushka Sharma paused to remember his legacy.
 
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Gujarat's Porbandar town to Putlibai and Karamchand Gandhi. His birthday is also observed as the International Day of Non-Violence.
 
Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948, by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist during a prayer meeting at the Birla House in New Delhi. Gandhi is admired across the world for his nonviolent philosophy of passive resistance. He was known to his many followers as the Mahatma.
 
Here's what the stars tweeted: 
 
Shekhar Kapur?: He did not ask to be worshipped. Nor his portrait on a wall. He taught us simplicity brotherhood and non materialism. And we failed #Gandhi
 
Kamal Haasan?: First they ignore you then they laugh at you then they fight you and then you win- Gandhi ji. His words impart strength we need now
 
Shaan: Today being Gandhi Jayanti and Birthday of Shastri ji, makes it the perfect day to #GiftHappiness! Share someone's pain...spare a smile..
