Mumbai, June 5
The cast of the popular show, 'Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri' decided to celebrate World Environment Day fruitfully. Marking the special day, the cast of the show planted trees.
Savi Thakur, who is seen as Rudra on the show, shared his experience in the following words, "I had such a great time planting trees today. Honestly, I've grown up watching and doing this at home since childhood. But ever since I moved to Mumbai, I haven't had many chances here; we usually just manage with a few potted plants. So today felt really special."
Urging everyone to plant more trees, he added, "To all my fans, I want to say this, just like you connect with everything we artists do, I hope you also connect with this small but meaningful act. Nature gives us so much, but we rarely give anything back. If you think about it, we're always just taking. Planting even one tree is like giving a small gift back to nature."
Eshaa Pathak aka Gauri shared, "My home is like a mini garden. I've filled it with plants because I absolutely love planting. There's a special connection I feel with greenery, so being part of today's tree plantation initiated by Sun Neo made me really happy. In fact, I've even kept a few plants in my makeup room to stay close to nature every day. As celebrities, we're doing this not just for the camera, but to set an example, to start a movement."
Pointing out the growing climate crisis, she went on to say, "Planting trees is not just a good deed, it's a need now. The way global warming is rising and seasons are changing, it’s clear we’ve hurt Mother Nature deeply. And now, it's time to heal those wounds. And the only medicine is planting. The more trees we plant, the better and cleaner our environment will be. We'll get fresh air, more oxygen, and a healthier planet. So, I request all of you to take a small step. Even if one person plants just one tree, it can make a huge difference."

So proud of our TV stars using their influence for a good cause! 🌱 In Mumbai especially, we need more green spaces. Maybe they can organize monthly plantation drives with fans? Would love to join!
Good initiative, but I hope they follow up on maintaining these plants. Many celebs do photo ops for environment day but forget the trees later. Hope Sun Neo has a proper care plan.
Eshaa's makeup room plants idea is so relatable! I've kept tulsi and money plants in my Mumbai flat balcony too. Small steps matter when we're all living in concrete jungles. More power to the cast! 🙌
While I appreciate the effort, I wish they'd planted native species instead of ornamental ones. Mumbai needs more neem, peepal and banyan trees that actually support local biodiversity.
As a die-hard fan of Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, this makes me so happy! Now our favorite stars are inspiring us off-screen too. Planting a guava sapling tomorrow in my society garden - just like Rudra would want! 😊
Great initiative, but TV industry should also reduce plastic use on sets. They generate so much waste during shootings. Environment protection needs holistic approach, not just one-day events.
