Taapsee Pannu fights for tiger conservation

Mumbai, Sep 27: The Bollywood Actress Taapsee Pannu has been roped in for a campaign for tiger conservation here on Tuesday.

Taapsee has been roped in by Animal Planet for the India chapter of 'Raise Your Voice' for the conservation of tigers - "Where Tigers Rule". The actress has shot separately for a promo for it.

The "Pink" actress, who supports various causes, will augment the channel's efforts to generate nationwide interest on tigers and the threats affecting their survival.

She said in a statement: "Firstly, my sun sign is Leo and from childhood, I had a fascination of these big cats. I find them extremely beautiful and the power that they have is very regal and elegant.

"When this opportunity came my way, I jumped for it. I have shot for the campaign. When I travel, I love to see tigers in their natural surroundings and not trapped in zoos. I make people aware in whatever capacity I can."

The show "Where Tigers Rule" will start from October 2.

Presently, Taasee's latest flick helmed by David Dhawan, 'Judwaa 2' is scheduled to release on 29 September. The film also features Jacqueline Fernandez and Varun Dhawan in pivotal roles.
