Juhi
Chawla
continued
her
tradition
of
gifting
trees
on
special
occasions
and
pledged
500
trees
for
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
birthday
to
the
Cauvery
Calling
project.
The
actress
took
to
her
Twitter
handle
to
make
the
pledge
and
left
a
sweet
note
for
the
Bollywood
Badshah
as
he
turned
all
of
55!
"I
plant
500
trees
for
#ShahRukh
on
his
birthday
for
#CauveryCalling
From
co-star,
co-producer
to
co-owner
....dotted
with
much
laughter
and
some
tears,
it's
been
a
long,
colourful
&
eventful
journey.
Happy
Birthday
@iamsrk,"
tweeted
Juhi.
Juhi
has
kept
up
with
this
tradition
ever
since
the
river
revitalization
project
Cauvery
Calling
was
initiated
by
Sadhguru,
founder
of
the
Isha
Foundation.
The
project
aims
to
revitalize
the
severely
depleted
and
degraded
Cauvery
River
by
restoring
green
cover
in
south
India
and
at
the
same
time,
improve
the
economic
conditions
of
farmers
in
the
region,
by
helping
them
shift
to
the
more
lucrative
tree-based
agriculture.
Apart
from
Juhi,
Cauvery
Calling
has
received
the
support
of
numerous
Bollywood
celebrities
such
as
Anupam
Kher,
Dia
Mirza,
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui,
Kajal
Aggarwal,
Kangana
Ranaut,
Tamannaah
Bhatia
and
Shah
Rukh
Khan
himself.
Juhi
has
so
far
gifted
trees
on
the
birthdays
of
celebrities
such
as
Akshay
Kumar,
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
late
Rishi
Kapoor,
Anil
Kapoor
and
Asha
Bhonsle.
She
also
pledged
1000
trees
on
her
son
Arjun's
birthday
and
called
it
the
'best
insurance
plan'.
Her
'unwavering
commitment'
to
the
cause
was
even
lauded
by
Sadhguru,
who
tweeted
an
appreciative
message
for
her.
Cauvery
Calling
aims
to
empower
50
lakh
farmers
in
the
Cauvery
river
basin
to
plant
242
crore
trees
on
their
farmlands,
in
the
next
12
years.
The
project
has
even
caught
the
attention
of
some
of
United
Nations
bodies
such
as
the
United
Nations
Environment
Programme,
United
Nations
Convention
to
Combat
Desertification
and
the
UN
Climate
Action
Summit.
