Rakul Preet Singh partners with Million Dollar Vegan; to distribute meals in Dharavi slums

Actor Rakul Preet Singh, who had earlier said that she has been feeling way lighter since she turned vegan this year, has partnered with Million Dollar Vegan to gift 4000 vegan meals in Mumbai's Dharavi slums. As per a report of news daily, with Rakul's support, 1000 meals a day will be served on July 11, 12, 18 and 19 across Dharavi Slums by the Million Dollar Vegan team. The report also stated that the menu will include masoor biryani with veggies. 

The motive of this initiative is also to advance people's knowledge and to create awareness about the Coronavirus pandemic. The report added that the initiative is for the densely populated slums like Dharavi. Rakul, through this initiative, reportedly wants to let people know about the precautions they can take to effectively control the spread of the virus and prevent further outbreaks.

Talking about how 'proud' she is to have partnered with Million Dollar Vegan to gift vegan meals to people who are in need, Rakul also asserted that people need to be educated about plant-based diets.
