While most prominent personalities in the film industry have remained silent about the large-scale tree cutting in Nashik, Maharashtra, one voice has risen with uncommon courage — actor Sayaji Shinde. At a time when nearly 1,800 trees are on the verge of being cut down for development projects, Shinde has stepped forward to defend them, reminding society of the deep emotional and environmental bond we share with nature.
In his heartfelt message, he described trees as our parents — quiet protectors who give endlessly without seeking anything in return. They purify the air, offer shade, balance the climate, and sustain life in countless unseen ways that people often take for granted. For Shinde, the destruction of these century-old trees is not just a policy matter — it is a moral, cultural, and emotional blow.
His stand brings to light a troubling reality: the growing divide between rapid development and real sustainability. He boldly questions why influential voices hesitate to speak out, and why society fails to realise that once these natural giants disappear, they cannot be replaced.
In an increasingly indifferent world, Sayaji Shinde’s courageous voice reminds us that protecting nature is not activism — it is a duty we owe to our children, our traditions, and the planet that nourishes us.
