On Wednesday, superstar Salman Khan took part in the Green India Challenge alongside Rajya Sabha MP Santosh Kumar. The actor planted a sapling at Ramoji Film City, where he is currently filming for his next project, and urged his fans and followers to plant more trees in an effort to battle climate change.

He tweeted a picture of himself planting the sapling and wrote, "I have accepted #GreenindiaChallenge from @MPsantoshtrs garu and I have planted saplings at Ramoji Film City . I request all my fans to perticapate in this challenge to control global warming."

Talking about the Green India Challenge initiative by MP Santosh Kumar, Salman said, "Planting trees is a very good thing. I don't know why people take interest in cutting trees. It is said that when a man stops growing, you should plant a tree. Tree is a still man and a man is a walking tree. This bond is very important."

"Wherever you have trees, you will have water," Salman added.
