There is no amount of thank-yous one could say to their mother for all that she does. On the occasion of Mother’s Day today, Ira Dubey is honouring her actor-mother Lillete Dubey by dedicating 100 trees in her name. The trees are being planted in Baran, Rajasthan — a region where reforestation efforts are making a tangible difference to rural ecosystems and livelihoods.

For Ira, the decision is deeply rooted in love and admiration for her mother, and to support biodiversity while offering long-term ecological and economic benefits to the area. “What better way to celebrate my mother, who has always been a nurturing force in my life, than by giving something back to mother Earth in her honour?” she queried.
