The actress shared the video with the caption, which says, "My heart is shattered into a million pieces seeing this. This is beyond horrible!! It’s heartbreaking, cruel, and unacceptable! No animal deserves to suffer like this. This horse needs to be rescued now. And so do the others still being forced to pull carriages in this heat, this traffic, this chaos."

 

She further added, "It’s time we end this outdated, painful practice. Let’s replace these carriages with sleek, battery-operated, cruelty-free Victorian-style e-carriages just like Mumbai has done. Kolkata can too. India can too. The world can too. We must become a voice for the voiceless. If you’re seeing this, please don’t look away. Raise your voice. Tag the authorities. Share this. Let’s make this world a kinder place starting right here, right now!!!! @mamataofficial @kolpolice @arddwestbengal @petaindia #BanHorseCarriages #RescueThisHorse #CrueltyFreeIndia #KindnessIsStrength #VoiceForTheVoiceless" However, the actress deleted the post and lates shared the below on her Instagram story.

Her post has contributed to an ongoing dialogue about the balance between tourism, tradition, and ethical treatment of animals, prompting reflection from both the public and authorities.

 

Earlier this month, she also raised her voice against Telangana deforestation, where several animals lost their lives.
