PETA India Person of the Year 2021: PETA India has named Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt as its 2021 Person of the Year to celebrate her work to support an animal-friendly fashion industry and for her advocacy for dogs and cats in need.
Alia Bhatt has been actively involved in launching animal welfare activities. She had launched her vegan kidswear line Ed-a-Mamma last year, which won the 2021 PETA India fashion award for helping nurture children's love for animals and nature.
From urging her fans to adopt from shelters & never shop for dogs and cats to advocating vegan fashion and using the power of social media to call for stronger animal protection laws, @aliaa08 speaks for animals and is PETA India’s Person of the Year. 👏💗 https://t.co/K2yXQOyiwR

She had also invested in an incense company called Phool earlier this year. Phool makes incense out of recycled flowers and helps keep rivers clean. Phool also makes bio-leather from recycled flowers called 'Fleather', which is a humane alternative to leather, which comes from animal skin.
