Such a sweet gesture! But honestly, with the temperature hitting 40°C in many parts of India, this should be common sense, not just a celebrity thing. Our municipality should also install more birdbaths in public parks. Still, good on Jacqueline for setting an example. Every drop counts! 🐦
Love this! We have a similar setup on our terrace in Delhi - a small clay pot with water and some grains. The sparrows, mynahs, and even the occasional parakeet visit daily. It's heartwarming to see Jacqueline doing this. Small acts of kindness matter, especially in this brutal heat. 🌞
While this is nice and all, I wish Bollywood celebrities would also use their reach for bigger environmental issues - like the air pollution in Delhi or the Yamuna river cleanup. But yes, caring for birds during heatwave is a good start. At least she's doing something positive, unlike many who just post for PR.
This is the kind of content we need more of! My grandmother used to keep water for birds every summer, and she'd say it's our duty to share resources with all living beings. Good to see Jacqueline following that tradition. Hope her fans also start doing this at their homes. Jal hi jeevan hai! 💧
