The stars aligned with sustainability this World Environment Day, as actress Raashii Khanna ditched the glam and got down to ground zero—quite literally—for a cause close to her heart. The Farzi star was spotted at Mahim beach, teaming up with the Bhamla Foundation for a spirited clean-up drive as part of the growing movement to end plastic pollution.
Dressed casually and radiating her signature charm, Raashii didn’t just pose for pictures—she joined hands with volunteers, students, and eco-warriors to help remove heaps of plastic waste along the banks of the Mithi River. With a trash bag in one hand and purpose in the other, the actress proved that true star power shines brightest when it’s making a difference.
“We are here in Mahim for the clean-up. I am happy to be here with Bhamla Foundation, which is heading this initiative—as they always have when it comes to environmental causes,” Raashii shared with a smile. “Even on my birthday, I did a plantation drive with them. I’m really happy to be here again, this time as a wellness ambassador.”
And while she’s used to being in the spotlight, Raashii was quick to shine it on the real heroes of the day—the young volunteers. “There are so many college students here today who are part of NSS,” she said. “I was also a part of NSS in my college days, so this feels like a full-circle moment. By the time I reached the beach, most of the students had already cleaned a large portion of it. I love seeing this kind of energy from today’s youth!”
But the actress didn’t stop at praises. She also called on the public to step up and act responsibly. “As an actor, I think whatever little influence I have, I want to use it for good causes and take these small steps, which can make a huge change,” she said. “We should all be responsible towards our planet and issues like global warming. Let’s fight it together!”
Raashii’s passionate appeal, coupled with her active participation, made her presence at the event feel not just starry, but sincerely inspiring. With celebs like her leading by example, it’s clear that the movement against plastic pollution isn’t just picking up momentum—it’s gaining heart.
So the next time you think eco-activism can’t be cool, just remember: Raashii Khanna picks up plastic on the beach and drops truth bombs about climate change—with style.
