"These 100 trees are a perfect gift for my mother who has spent a lifetime nurturing talent - Ira Dubey"

Mumbai, May 11

Ira Dubey celebrated Mother’s Day with a touching and eco-conscious gesture, honoring not only her mother, veteran actress Lillete Dubey, but also Mother Nature.

The actress teamed up with Grow-Trees.com to plant 100 trees in her mother's name as part of the Trees for Farmers initiative in Rajasthan—an act she described as a tribute to the quiet, nurturing strength mothers embody.

Ira dedicated 100 trees to her mother. These trees will be planted in Baran, Rajasthan, contributing to the Trees for Farmers initiative aimed at enhancing the region's biodiversity. As part of its 2025–26 goals, Grow-Trees.com aims to plant more than 20,000 trees across farmland in the area, supporting groundwater recharge, reducing soil erosion, supplying fodder, and boosting employment opportunities in rural communities.

Expressing her appreciation for the project, Ira stated, “This Mother's Day, what can be better than nourishing the earth that sustains us with such generosity? I am glad that the trees I am dedicating will replenish the ecology and also supplement the incomes of the locals. These 100 trees are also a perfect gift for my mother who has spent a lifetime nurturing talent in the theatrical arena and has planted countless seeds of hope, creativity and joy through her work. I hope more people join me in dedicating trees and making a contribution towards creating a healthier planet.”

The project includes planting native and climate-resilient species such as Amla, Teak, Guava, and Ber—trees well-suited to the region’s environmental conditions and beneficial for long-term ecological balance.

The ‘Dear Zindagi’ actress also took to Instagram to share a series of photos featuring her mother and captioned it, “This Mother’s Day, I wanted to do something meaningful for my mom, @lilletedubeyofficial and for Mother Nature too. So, with @growtrees_global, we’ve planted 100 trees in her name through their Trees for Farmers®️ project in Rajasthan. These trees will grow, give shade, and support farmers, just like moms do in their own quiet, powerful way. Here’s to the women who make us who we are, and to the planet that makes life possible. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, and to Mother Nature too.”

What a beautiful way to celebrate Mother's Day! 🌳 Ira Dubey's gesture combines love for her mother with environmental responsibility. More celebrities should use their influence for such meaningful causes. The Trees for Farmers initiative is especially commendable as it helps both nature and rural communities.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wonder if planting just 100 trees makes enough impact. With India's environmental challenges, we need large-scale reforestation. That said, it's a good start and sets a positive example. Hope others follow suit with bigger commitments!

So heartwarming! ❤️ In our culture, mothers are truly the embodiment of nature's nurturing spirit. Planting trees is such a perfect tribute - they grow and give just like mothers do. The choice of native species like Amla and Ber shows thoughtful planning for Rajasthan's climate.

Great initiative! But I hope they ensure proper maintenance of these trees. Many plantation drives fail because saplings aren't cared for. The groundwater recharge aspect is crucial for Rajasthan. Maybe next year they can organize a volunteer trip for people to visit and tend to the trees?

This makes me emotional! My nani always says "Prakriti hi hamari sabse badi maa hai" (Nature is our greatest mother). Ira's tribute captures this Indian philosophy so well. The dual benefit for farmers makes it even more special - helping both nature and livelihoods. 👏

Nice gesture, but I wish more focus was given to urban tree planting. Cities like Mumbai desperately need more green cover. That said, rural afforestation is equally important. Maybe next time they could do 50-50 between rural and urban areas?
