Aahana Kumra 'troubled' by housing society for feeding strays, sends SOS to Maneka Gandhi

The COVID-19 lockdown brought out challenges not just for the humans, but also animals. Many celebrities had urged their fans and followers to help the strays during the pandemic, as restrictions made it hard for everyone to venture out to feed them. Mohit Chauhan was among the stars who had made headlines for feeding dogs for over 100 days in Delhi, but it seems some are facing hassles while doing so.

Aahana Kumra recently claimed that she had to face ‘trouble’ from her building society in Mumbai for feeding strays who live on the building premises. The actor wrote that they had been feeding the strays for four months in the pandemic, but there was ‘trouble everyday.’ The Lipstick Under My Burkha star tagged People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Parliament Maneka Gandhi, who is known to raise animal welfare issues, and sought their help.
