Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "World Environment Day is a crucial annual reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve this beautiful planet we call home. With 2025's theme, 'Beat Plastic Pollution,' it's a strong call for each of us to rethink our consumption habits and move toward more sustainable alternatives," says Ankit. He emphasizes that while large-scale efforts and government initiatives are essential, change also begins at home. 'We all have a role to play. Small, conscious steps — like reducing single-use plastics, conserving energy and water, joining local cleanup drives, or planting trees — truly make a difference,' he shares. For this year's Environment Day, Ankit is choosing to stay grounded — quite literally. 'I plan to spend time in my building's garden, tending to the plants. It's such a soothing, calming experience. Being in nature reminds me of how vital it is to protect what gives us life. It's my way of contributing to a greener future, right here in Mumbai.' In a world increasingly overwhelmed by pollution and climate challenges, voices like Ankit's inspire many to take action — not just for a day, but every day. After delivering an impeccable performance in the television show Maati Se Bandhi Dor, the actor's fans are now waiting for his next big project announcement.

Gantavya Sharma with his baby sister Gantavya Sharma , last seen in Maati Se Bandhi Dor , is over the moon these days. The child artiste has recently been blessed with a baby sister and is making sure to spend as much time with her as possible. When contacted, he shared, 'Whenever I heard my parents talk about their siblings, or saw my friends with theirs, I used to feel a void. Now, that emptiness has been filled. Right now, I'm so happy that I can't even put it into words. Every year on Raksha Bandhan , my mom used to tie a rakhi on my wrist, but this year, I have a sister to do that. I'm so excited for Raksha Bandhan to come. I've already told my dad that I need more pocket money so I can start saving to buy my first gift for her.' His father, Naveen, revealed that Gantavya was in tears when he heard about his baby sister. He shared, 'When the doctor came out of the operation theatre and told us we were blessed with a girl, Gantavya just smiled. I sensed he was holding back something, so I took him aside. When I asked if he was happy, he became so emotional that he started crying tears of joy. I was moved too and couldn't hold back my own tears.' Gantavya with his parents and baby sister Gantavya added, 'My sister was born on April 15.

She's so delicate and overflowing with cuteness. I was hesitant to touch her at first because I'd heard that newborns are prone to infections. But my mom reassured me that since I had sanitised my hands, it was safe.' He added with a smile, 'Ever since my mom and sister came home, I've been spending a lot of time with them. Like a protective elder brother, I make sure to take extra care of her. I don't let just anyone touch her, and kissing is strictly prohibited (laughs) — only I'm allowed to kiss her.'
