Be it in premieres or parties, it is not an unusual sight to catch Jackie Shroff with a small plant pot in his hand. He makes plants his accessory and this is not without a reason. It’s his unique style of reminding everyone around to do their bit for environmental conservation along with participating in activities that bring environmental awareness. The actor has always been vocal about saving the environment and this time in an exclusive chat with Mid-day’s Katyayani Kapoor, he shares his wisdom. This World Environment Day 2024, hear what ‘Bhidu’ Jackie Shroff has to say on protecting the environment. 

This World Turtle Day 2024, take a peek inside Maharashtra’s Velas village that is on a mission to conserve Turtles.

Celebrate World Turtle Day with us as we explore Velas' inspiring conservation efforts and the remarkable beauty of its natural surroundings.
