It wasn’t a film set, but Mahim beach sure looked like the backdrop of a feel-good Bollywood drama—with a powerful environmental message! On the occasion of World Environment Day, stars swapped designer shoes for sneakers and rolled up their sleeves to kickstart a major anti-plastic pollution movement along the Mithi River in Mumbai.
Leading the charge were Vedang Raina, Farah Khan, Raashii Khanna, and Ishitta Arun, among other familiar faces from the industry. But this wasn’t just another celebrity photo op—these stars were serious about the cleanup. From scooping up plastic bottles to hauling out bags of waste, they got right into the thick of it, inspiring dozens of volunteers to join the mission.
Social media soon lit up with videos of the celebs—gloves on, heads down, and smiles wide—wading through the sand with volunteers, picking out trash, and proving that being a star doesn’t mean staying out of the muck. Vedang Raina looked every bit the eco-warrior as he tackled plastic waste head-on, while Raashii Khanna brought her sunny energy to the cause, reminding everyone that going green is always in style.
The drive wasn’t just about the photo ops—it was the launch of a larger campaign to raise awareness around plastic pollution and promote responsible waste management. With the power of celebrity and the passion of community volunteers, Mahim's shores saw more than just a surface-level scrub—they witnessed the start of a movement.
As the sun set over a cleaner stretch of coastline and the team posed—muddy, tired, but triumphant—the message was loud and clear: Saving the planet is everyone’s job, and Bollywood’s not backing out.
