Actress Shruti Haasan has been named as the brand ambassador of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), India. She is all set to have conversations around the conservation and preservation of nature. The actress doesn’t like the word ‘famous’ but felt privileged that she could use her stardom for various important things in the world.
According to The Hindustan Times, the actress said, “The word youth icon carries a lot of weight and many connotations. And I’ve never really liked the word famous because it’s just one step away from being infamous. It can mean so many things.”
She further talked about her privilege, “I do believe that if you’re given a position, to be able to have people listen to you, it’s a great gift. If I can associate with causes, organizations or ideas, and have people think about more than just the menial things, it makes me feel very privileged.”
The actress opened up about the notions people carry about nature and expressed her urge to create a positive change in it. She said, “A lot of people feel nature is something far away, like in the forest, tigers, and elephants. They’re a part of our earth heritage, and the wildlife is the crowning jewel of our planet. But we don’t realize that everything we do impacts everything even far away.”
She added, “Conservation is the keyword. Not going back with regret but conserving and starting to grow new ecosystems and then maintaining those beautifully is something that we even need to look at.”
On the work front, the actress was last seen in ‘Vakeel Saab’, the Telugu remake of the Hindi movie, Pink. The movie was the highest-grossing Telugu film of the year. It was directed by Venu Sriram and starred actors like Pawan Kalyan, Nivetha Thomas, Anjali, Ananya Nagalla, and Prakash Raj, along with Shruti Haasan.
