Kareena Kapoor lauds Anant Ambani for Vantara initiative: 'This is just one of the many amazing stories...'

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has showered praises on Anant Ambani after he opened up about his Vantara initiative. The Crew star took to Instagram to laud him and also spoke about an elephant, who was rescued through this initiative.

“Vantara has tirelessly rescued over 200 elephants and thousands of other animals, reptiles, and birds, committing to animal welfare. Bravo, Anant and team, on creating such an amazing initiative,” Kareena wrote.

Sharing the story of an elephant named Tarzan, whose vision was restored by performing a cataract surgery through this initiative, she continued, “This is Tarzan, a young elephant who experienced a life-changing transformation recently after a successful cataract surgery, which restored his vision.”

“This is just one of the many amazing stories taking place at Vantara, an initiative by the Reliance Foundation that diligently rescues, treats, and restores injured, neglected, and endangered animals both domestically and globally,” the Singham Again star added.

In an exclusive interview with CNN News18, Anant Ambani spoke about Vantara and said, “My vision is that at Vantara in Jamnagar, we would like to be the world’s most advanced wildlife institute and we would also like to conserve and breed critically endangered species so we can release them back in the habitat. Because a lot of species, even today, as we speak, are going extinct.”

He added, “So, in Hindi, there’s a saying called Chidiyaghar. It’s not a Chidiya Sevalaya. So we have created it as a Sevalaya. And it’s an area where we only rehabilitate, rescue, preserve, conserve and breed the endangered species. It’s not a zoo. It’s not for any entertainment.”
