Ms. Namita Nayyar:
As an anti-radiation activist, you have created a lot of awareness among the young generation on the harmful radiations of electronics, and have also spoken about the menace of using plastic. Share with us your thoughts on improving our society by making these small yet important changes.
Ms. Juhi Chawla:
In the past few years, I started to do organic farming, this is in the little farms that I have outside of Mumbai, once you have children, you start thinking about health, about their health & what you’re feeding them. It’s very disturbing that we have chemicals in our food, in our fruits, in our vegetables, so since I had the land & since it’s beautiful. One of my farms is actually also on the banks of the river Vaitarna, it’s a beautiful place, I grow lots of fruits, I also feel good because I’m planting a lot of trees, again this year I’m planting lot of about 70-80 more trees, so I have about more than 500 trees on the land so it makes me feel good that we are doing something for the earth & also at least whatever we get from the farm & whatever we eat, it is clean & healthy. I believe we actors have a power if used wisely can be for the betterment of the society. With the presence of actors on social networking sites, we can use the platform to spread more awareness & positivity. I’m not sure if I’m able to do my best for the causes I support but I use every platform, every event, or appearance that I make to talk about these little things that can make a difference.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Your fans would love to see you soon on the big screen. Tell us about your future projects that you’re working on.
Ms. Juhi Chawla:
I recently finished shooting for the first leg of Shelly Dhar’s film ‘Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga’, there’s this another psychological thriller with Arshad Warsi. I also play a role in the Gujarati film, adaptation of Marathi film Ventilator.
Apart from that I visit our gurukul in Porbunder regularly, an institution my father-in-law set up & now the responsibility has been passed down to us. We plan the curriculum, activities… My Citizens for Tomorrow project keeps me busy as we’re now actively working towards & meeting important people who are instrumental in creating awareness for the plastic ban in Maharashtra.

Ms. Juhi Chawla:
Very very simply, if god wanted you to have a piece of a radiating instrument next to your body he would’ve sent to this earth with a telephone attached to your ear, but he didn’t do it, we’re doing it. Mobile phones, wifi devices though we cannot see it are not working by magic, they’re working on air waves, these air waves are similar frequencies to microwaves. Overexposure to these air waves in the long term will affect your health is what I try to tell people. I do not mean to say that they must throw away their devices, but I certainly tell them they have to be more careful about how much they use them & how they use them.
If you’re reading this, promise me that you’ll read more about what is exposure of plastic doing to you & your body, there are many earth friendly alternatives to plastic available in the market, try to do your bit for the environment. Don’t forget to drink enough water & never let that smile fade!
