Kangana Ranaut plants sapling in Bhubaneswar under 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign
Bhubaneswar, June 5
Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut on Thursday planted a sapling in Bhubaneswar under the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign on the occasion of World Environment Day.
Speaking to the media, the BJP MP said she was happy to take part in the initiative and plant a tree as part of the campaign. "On World Environment Day, under the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, I have planted a sapling in Bhubaneswar," Kangana said.
The 'Emergency' actress is currently busy promoting her upcoming film 'Bharat Bhagya Vidhata'. During her visit to Odisha, she also met Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.
Talking about the film, Kangana said the team was excited as the Chief Minister had given them time to watch the movie. "Today, the Chief Minister has given us time to watch our film. We are very excited. We want to understand the true values of 'Bharat Bhagya Vidhata'..." she said.
Earlier, at the trailer launch of the film, Kangana shared that the title was inspired by a phrase used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for workers.
"The name Bharat Bhagya Vidhata was given by the Prime Minister in 2025. He named the specially-abled as 'Divyangjan'. He also changed the name of the scheme for widows to 'Kalyani'. The workers who make things with their hands were named 'Vishwakarma'. In the same manner, he named the labourers as 'Bharat Bhagya Vidhata'. This touched our hearts, and thus we wanted to keep it as our title," Kangana said.
In 'Bharat Bhagya Vidhata', Kangana plays the role of a staff nurse, an ordinary woman whose dedication often goes unnoticed.
Presented by Dr Jayantilal Gada (PEN Studios), the film is produced by PEN Studios, Manikarnika Films and Paramhans Creations in association with Eunoia Films LLP and Floating Rocks Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.

It's nice to see celebrities using their platform for environmental causes. But I wish the media would focus more on the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign itself rather than turning it into a film promotion opportunity. The environment deserves genuine attention, not just publicity coverage.
"Bharat Bhagya Vidhata" - such a powerful and respectful title for workers! PM Modi truly knows how to give dignity to every Indian who contributes to the nation's growth. And Kangana is doing a great job highlighting these unsung heroes through her film. Double dhamaka today - environment + worker recognition! 👏
I respect the sentiment behind the campaign, but can we talk about the timing? She's planting a sapling while also promoting a film and meeting the CM... feels like a checklist being ticked off. Would have been more meaningful if it was done quietly, without the media presence. Still, every tree counts, so I'll give credit where it's due. 🌿
Kangana is one of the few stars who actually walks the talk - from nationalism to environmentalism. The 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign is brilliant; it connects our love for our mothers with our duty to the planet. And her film's concept about recognizing the dignity of labour is exactly what India needs. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
