Gunday star Arjun Kapoor believes that after reaching a certain level in their career, actors want to give back to society. And he is happy to be able to contribute towards conservation of the environment.
“WWF have showcased their immense work over the years. I thought that a collaboration with such an organization would be correct as I thought there would be value for what they say. The bigger picture is the cause and not me in the cause,” said Arjun, the brand ambassador for WWF - India. He added, “I’m fortunate that they chose me out of all the actors they could’ve signed. I’m very happy because an actor wants to give back and do something after reaching a certain level. I couldn’t have had a better opportunity to speak about conserving the world.”
