MUMBAI: World Environment Day brought a refreshing change of pace on the sets of Shemaroo Umang’s show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, as lead actors Diksha Dhami (Chaina), Sheel Verma (Jaiveer), and Ishita Ganguly (Chamkili) took part in a special plantation drive. Amidst a busy shoot schedule, the trio stepped away from the cameras to plant saplings around their set — each one personally committing to do their bit to protect the planet.
For Ishita Ganguly, the experience was deeply personal. "For me, Environment Day is not just about one day, it's about every little choice we make, every single day," she shared. "Today, planting those saplings around our set felt really special. I’ve always found peace in nature – the sound of rustling leaves, the scent of wet soil after rain, or just watching the sky change colors at sunset. Nature grounds me and reminds me what truly matters."
She also offered simple but effective eco-friendly habits she follows in her daily life: "To avoid future problems, I carry my own water bottle, avoid plastic, reuse what I can, and plant at least one sapling every year. These might seem like small things, but they make a big difference when done with intention."
Reflecting on her emotional connection with the environment, Ishita added: "We often look for magic in big achievements or faraway places, but honestly, the Earth is the real magician – it heals our body and soul in its own unique ways. If we don’t protect this magic now, we might lose it forever. I want to keep walking barefoot on soft grass, keep watching butterflies flutter around flowers, and keep breathing in fresh, clean air. Let’s not wait for a miracle – let’s be the miracle for Mother Earth. Happy Environment Day!"
Their initiative may have been quiet and simple, but the message it sent was loud and clear: it’s the small, meaningful actions that help nurture a healthier planet for tomorrow.
Tune in to Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain every Monday to Saturday at 9:00 PM, only on Shemaroo Umang.
