Arya said he has eliminated single-use plastics from his daily life, including plastic bottles, supermarket bags, and straws

On the occasion of World Environment Day 2025, several television celebrities have been opening up about their efforts to live more sustainably. Among them is Arya Babbar, who plays Kalikant Thakur in Jagriti: Ek Nayi Subah. The actor has made conscious lifestyle changes to reduce his environmental impact, from eliminating single-use plastics to switching to eco-friendly alternatives and encouraging those around him to do the same.

Arya Babbar told ETimes, “During a trip last year, I reached the hilltop, which should have been pristine. Instead of clean air and untouched beauty, I was greeted by plastic wrappers and discarded bottles. That stayed with me. It made me realise that even the remotest corners of nature aren’t safe from the reach of our waste. Since then, I’ve promised myself to be part of the solution."

Commenting on the steps he has taken, Arya shared that he has completely eliminated single-use plastics from his daily routine—including plastic bottles, supermarket bags, and straws. To further reduce waste, he now uses compostable liners at home and carries a solid shampoo bar while travelling, avoiding plastic packaging even on the go.

The actor added, “It’s not about overhauling your life overnight’s about making thoughtful choices that align with a cleaner future. I regularly have conversations with friends and family about the little swaps they can make. “ To him, it’s about being conscious, consistent, and a part of something larger than oneself. Every small move counts, as Aarya believes that if we keep waiting for change to arrive from somewhere else, we will be waiting much too long.

Arya Babbar plays a prominent role in Jagriti: Ek Nayi Subah, a gripping tale centred around a member of the marginalized Chitta community who dares to defy age-old traditions in a bid to empower her people. Her journey pits her against a powerful leader with mafia connections, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle for change. The show also stars Rachana Mistry, Sagar Parekh, and Vijendra Kumaria in lead roles.
