Jackie Shroff Unveils ‘Green Manifesto’ Calling for Small Urban Jungles Everywhere

He turns his signature of gifting plants into a public appeal to grow greenery on every balcony, rooftop and street.

Overview

  • In fresh interviews, Shroff urges, “Har gali, har chhat, har balcony mein bas ek chhota jungle ugana hai.”
  • He recommends replacing disposable or screen-linked presents with seeds or saplings for occasions such as birthdays or housewarmings.
  • He argues that tending plants fosters patience and empathy in children and offers cleaner air and calmer homes for families.
  • The push builds on years of him arriving at events with potted plants, which he describes as a personal practice rather than a publicity act.
  • Recent coverage also notes his brand tie-in as Ugaoo’s ambassador, signaling a more organized phase of his advocacy.
