Honestly, this is the kind of celebrity influence we need more of. Our city Mumbai is losing green cover so fast, it's heartbreaking. If more stars use their platform for real environmental action instead of just posting fancy photos, we might actually see change. But I wish she'd done it without the saree and the 'Anupamaa' branding—feels a bit like a PR move. Still, a tree is a tree, so thumbs up! 👍

Every tree counts indeed. We grew up watching Anil Ganguly's films—Kora Kagaz was a masterpiece. It warms my heart to see his daughter continue his legacy of creativity AND now environmental responsibility. Rupali ma'am, you've inspired me. I'm planting a gulmohar sapling this weekend in my backyard. 🌳

What a touching tribute to her father! But I feel like these campaigns often stop with planting—what about watering and maintaining these trees in the long run? In our society, we planted 50 saplings last year, only 12 survived because nobody cared after the ceremony. I hope this initiative ensures proper care and follow-up. Action needs to go beyond the photo op.

Bahut accha kaam kiya Rupali ne! (Very good work by Rupali!) In our villages, we've always understood the importance of trees—they give shade, fruits, and clean air. It's nice to see city people and celebrities remembering these values. I hope this campaign plants native species like neem and banyan, not just decorative foreign plants that don't help our ecosystem.
