New Delhi [India], July 7: Bhagyashree, the popular Bollywood actor known for her role as Suman in the film, 'Maine Pyar Kiya' in 1989, philanthropist and wellness advocate, has extended support to the campaign of World Animal Protection to end cruel elephant rides in Jaipur. As a child, Bhagyashree was introduced to the concept of compassion for animals and as she grew up, she realized that millions of animals across the world were needlessly suffering cruelty at the hands of humans. As an avid traveler, she has observed wild animals like elephants and lions in the wild in Maasai Mara in Kenya and leopards in Jawai in Rajasthan. In these situations, she has been able to observe the regal splendor of wild animals living where they belong, in the wild. Sadly, this freedom is denied to millions of wild animals that are held in captivity worldwide, many of them in entertainment, such as elephants for riding in Amer Fort in Jaipur in Rajasthan.
