Bollywood
mega
star
Amitabh
Bachchan
issued
a
warning
over
the
dangers
of
climate
change
at
Thursday
night's
Bollywood
Oscars.
Bachchan
took
the
opportunity
to
warn
India
was
particularly
vulnerable
to
climate
change
at
the
International
Indian
Film
Academy
Awards
in
Leeds,
England.
The
actor
also
urged
fellow
Bollywood
stars
to
join
him
in
a
bid
to
raise
awareness
of
the
issue.
He
said,
"India
also
needs
to
be
aware
of
global
warming
because
of
the
fact
that
it
is
a
vastly
and
rapidly
developing
economy,
an
economy
that
is
creating
a
huge
number
of
the
middle
class
moving
up...
spending
a
lot
of
money."
"That
is
why
India
is
becoming
very
prominent
as
far
as
global
warming
is
concerned.
I
hope
that
through
our
deliberations,
through
my
voice
and
through
my
face,
I
will
be
able
to
impress
upon
other
members
of
my
community
who
are
equally
important
to
this
cause
because
they
have
a
face
and
they
have
a
voice.
