Animal
lover
salman
khan
also
has
a
green
thumb.
He
will
be
inaugurating
Shaina
NC
and
her
father
Nana
Chudasama's
NGO
I
Love
Mumbai's
plant
exhibition
at
Islam
Gymkhana,
Marine
Drive,
on
January
7.
"The
exhibition
was
started
10
years
ago
when
I
became
a
trustee,
says
Shaina
adding,
"I
asked
Salman
to
inaugurate
it
because
he
and
his
family
love
nature.
Their
Panvel
farmhouse
is
nature
at
its
best
--
it's
a
profusion
of
beautiful
colours
and
vegetables.
Salman
is
a
really
good
human
being.
I
hadn't
expected
him
to
readily
agree
but
the
moment
I
asked
him
if
he
could
do
it,
he
immediately
said
yes.
Salman
and
his
dad
Salim
uncle
take
care
by
looking
after
their
garden.
Last
year,
when
I
Love
Mumbai
had
given
1000
saplings
they
had
planted
them
at
their
farmhouse
and
Panvel.
It's
amazing
how
they
take
care
of
their
plants!"
Shaina
adds
that
the
green
exhibition
in
ILM
is
a
part
of
an
initiative
started
by
her
father
20
years
ago.
"Now
we
try
to
have
it
at
least
twice
a
year.
ILM
is
about
keeping
Mumbai
clean
and
green.
In
this
way,
we
can
contribute
our
bit
towards
combating
global
warming.
After
the
exhibition,
we
will
have
another
green
event
where
we
will
distribute
two
lakh
saplings
across
33
centres
in
Mumbai.
Our
exhibition
has
various
types
of
plants
--
including
medicinal
plants.
People
from
all
over
including
hospital
and
school
folk
pick
up
plants.
Some
are
give
free
to
the
needy
and
some
at
a
price
to
those
who
can
buy.
I
Love
Mumbai
is
a
non-profit
making
NGO."
