Television actor Adish Vaidya, known for his impactful roles in Naagin, Barrister Babu, and currently seen as Vikram Saran in Pushpa Impossible, marked World Environment Day 2025 with a strong and thought-provoking message.Reflecting on the critical state of our forests and biodiversity, the actor emphasized the need for a balanced approach to progress.“In the name of development, we are practicing deforestation, which is welcoming a dangerous future,” Adish warned. “The world’s forests have the ability to capture and storecarbon dioxidefrom the atmosphere, which makes them crucial in the fight against the climate crisis. But we continue to destroy more forests every single day due to ever-increasing global demands and urban development.”Highlighting the gravity of the situation, he added, “Humanity is cutting down its forests, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not live without them. Even we are disturbing our biodiversity—animal safety is another concern too.”On World Environment Day, Adish made a heartfelt appeal: “I would like to urge everyone to wake up. I feel development and the environment can still go hand in hand. We do not constantly need to kill our environment for the sake of development.Without pure oxygen and uncontaminated air, we cannot survive for long. Preservation of our forests has become crucial now.”Speaking about his own eco-friendly habits, he shared, “Being responsible, I try to have more plants, arrange shelter for stray animals, limit the use of plastic bottles, and recycle plastic bags with limited use. I feel every one of us taking small steps can bring a huge difference.”Adish’s words serve as a reminder that mindful living and collective action are the keys to protecting our planet’s future.
