Neha Dhupia does her bit for the environment by appearing in a Go Green calendar
Neha Dhupia wants you to care for the environment. And she has even bared it during a photo shoot for a calendar that is part of a Go Green initiative launched by Franchise India Holdings Ltd, an integrated franchise solution company.
The actress sounds dead serious about the project and the cause, "The importance of protecting our environment is something that each one of us understands and that the only way to promote this cause is by getting involved."
She's all talk, "The calendar will go a long way in making people aware of the need to get involved in the protection of the environment. Gaurav and Sachin Marya of Franchise India provided me a chance to support an initiative so close to my heart."
Shot by Jatin Kampani, it has the actress make a green statement through the elements of nature.
What we wanted to know...
Calendar print run and distribution: At the moment, the calendar is not for sale. Over 5,000 copies have been circulated to several companies to show them how they can care for the environment and to get back on what they have done for the cause. Depending on response, they may take a decision to sell calendars to raise funds for awareness.
Eco-friendly or not? The calendar is not being made from recycled paper as the artwork won't print clearly.
