Speaking about her commitment to environmental conservation, Bhumi said, "The planet is in peril because of various human activities, especially deforestation, and if we fail to do something about it now, our future will be affected irreversibly. Fortunately, nature is surprisingly resilient - territories, regions and places that we have damaged, if given time and help, can once again support life and can be given a second chance. So, I urge everyone to try and plant as many trees as possible."

Actor Jackie Shroff, who is known for making appearances at events by wearing a plant necklace or carrying saplings as gifts, has been urging people to do their bit to save Mother Earth.
