Shraddha Kapoor joins protest to save Aarey Forest

MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor joined the protest against the felling of trees in Mumbai’s beauty, Aarey Forest. She stood among the commoners with a placard and shouted slogans in support on saving the once-beautiful Aarey Forest.

Come rain or storm, Shraddha stood strong, right beside the crowd of hundred, in a non-violent yet loud protest against saving the Aarey Forest. The actress even went live on Instagram in order to educate her fans about the ongoing protest, urging them to join it and raise their voice against the mishap.

Trying to do my bit. Went live on my insta sometime back to show you all how so many people have come together to stand up against this. 2700+ trees are slated to be chopped down for the Metro. Unacceptable. Shocking. As if we don’t have enough environmental issues already. As if Mumbai doesn’t have enough pollution already. And permission is granted to chop off the lungs of the city. This HAS TO STOP. #SAVEAAREY #TRYYOURBITFORTHEENVIRONMENT @aareyforest ❤️
