At the screening of a documentary feature in the city recently, the attendees were in for a pleasant surprise as actor-producer John Abraham joined them. John, who has been championing the cause of animal welfare, spoke about co-existence and more at the screening of Oslo, which tells the story of a Siberian Husky with a strong Pune connection.

“I’m proud to be associated with this project because it’s a topic close to my heart. I always say ‘Adopt, don’t shop’. At the same time we all should understand that this world is a shared platform. It doesn’t belong to us humans alone,” John told us.

He added, “Cruelty to animals should ends and laws need to change. There are good people in this country and world who work for animals and I wish that tribe grows. We stand up for shared existence and hope the best happens to animals around us.”
