Mumbai: Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma is gearing up to launch a social media campaign, ahead of Diwali. The actress is encouraging people to reduce the use of crackers and noise during Diwali for sake of animals.
On her Twitter handle, Anushka wrote –
Anushka spends a whale of time with her pet dog and is working hard to protect the rights of animals. She is urging everyone to celebrate Diwali on a ‘PAWsitive’ note, which is a social media campaign which encourages people to celebrate the festival of lights with utmost care and reduce noise.
In a statement, Anushka said, “Animals are our best friends. They make me laugh & I share a personal bond with them. Their welfare is one cause that’s close to my heart & I will keep taking up initiatives that make us care for them too. When someone bursts fire crackers during Diwali, they don’t think of how it affects animals or birds. With ‘Pawsitive’ I hope I can inspire some of us to care about them, and avoid making a lot of noise. Diwali is a festival of lights & happiness, and can also be celebrated with your family in a safe & healthy manner.”
