Renu Desai Accepts Green India Challenge
HYDERABAD: Actress Renu Desai has taken up the 'Green India Challenge' thrown by anchor Uday Bhanu and planted saplings at a park in Jubilee Hills here on Friday.
"Everyone of us is accustomed to apartment culture. In the olden days, people had enough space where they would live in independent houses. We had seen our elders growing trees in the spaces that were available. But today's generation has very little knowledge on growing trees and their significance. So, I am accepting this challenge to spread the message to save nature and protect the environment. We have to plant trees to save nature for the future. As part of the challenge, anchor Udaya Bhanu had nominated me, I have decided to plant saplings along with my daughter," Renu Desai said.
She went live on Instagram to capture the planting of a sapling along with her daughter, Aadhya. The pictures went viral on social media.
