Priyanka, Gal mark America’s Independence Day

Actors Priyanka Chopra, Reese Witherspoon, Gal Gadot and Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others, marked the United States of America’s (USA) 242nd year on Wednesday.

Celebs took to social media to mark the Independence Day (the Fourth of July), which recognises American tradition, government and the country’s rich history.

The Baywatch star, who recently returned to New York after a vacation in India and then a brief stopover in Brazil, took to Instagram to wish “Happy 4th of July America.”
