PETA India further took to their official website to explain how Zeenat Aman warned her fans not to promote any content featuring captive wildlife as pets or exhibits. "She has also shared her story of fostering and then adopting a community dog named Lily, pointing out that most stray dogs in India live a life of cruelty, hunger, and neglect," the blog reads.
Jackie Shroff, on the other hand, has been often seen carrying saplings along, promoting afforestation. He has also been heard saying, "You can't buy love but you can always rescue it!" The actor also took to share a picture of the award, along with love and gratitude emojis.
