Bilateral ties will hit a new high, this Independence Day, quite literally.

Ahead of the 68th Independence Day celebrations, innumerable kites with photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Barack Obama will dot the city’s skyline.

There are two types of kites depicting pictures of Modi, with one mentioning “Mahanayak” and “Acche din”, while the other one has pictures of Modi and Obama together.

Bollywood continues to be the evergreen theme this year with kites depicting photos of actors Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor and other television actors.
