Actress Sunny Leone, who has in the past spoken out about cruelty to animals and about cancer, says people should always extend their support to spread awareness for causes close to their heart. A short video — featuring alongside Alok Nath and Deepak Dobriyal — which spreads awareness regarding breast cancer and hazards of smoking, has been nominated for the upcoming Filmfare Short Film Awards 2017.
Talking about it, Sunny said in a statement: “We all should extend our support in every way possible to spread awareness for a cause that’s close to our hearts and that’s something that I volunteered for — let that be fighting against cancer or animal cruelty.” “It feels good to be nominated as it helps us to reach out to maximum people and create more awareness for the cause.” Sunny will next be seen onscreen in the song “Laila main Laila” in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees.
Meanwhile, Sunny Leone will receive PETA’s person of the year award for her dedication to promoting the rescue of homeless dogs and cats, as well as her compassion for animals abused and killed for their skin. Earlier this year, the 35-year-old star featured in an ad the campaign by the organisation which encouraged people to be an angel and adopt a homeless dog.
“Sunny Leone’s kindness proves she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. PETA is calling on people everywhere to follow her compassionate example by adopting– and never buying–companion animals, and by eating healthy, plant-based meals that save animals every time we sit down to eat,” said Sachin Bangera of PETA.
