Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has been selected PETA’s ‘Person of the Year’ for her efforts to promote an animal-friendly fashion sector in 2021. The actress had recently invested in Phool, the firm behind Fleather, which creates vegan leather out of discarded temple flowers. In addition, her vegan kidswear line, Ed-a-Mamma, also won a 2021 PETA India fashion award for helping to nurture kids’ love for animals and nature.
Alia is well-known for her love for cats and dogs, and she frequently utilises her platform to campaign for stricter animal protection regulations. The actress has also lent her voice to a pro-adoption PETA India campaign to save felines and canines.
