Actress Preeti Jhangiani believes Bonsai helps people in their daily lives and she would love to practice the Japanese art form.
"Bonsai is the best way to get greenery in our lives. I would love to practice Bonsai; it helps us in our daily life. It helps purify our home and office. It also helps the environment as we all stay in closed places. I am excited to receive my first Bonsai today," said Preeti, who was here to support a Bonsai Bonanza and Ikebana Exhibition.
Talking about the art, Harsha Hinduja, President of the India Friendship Bonsai Society, believes issues faced by humanity today are due to lack of human connection with nature and environment.
"The separation we have created has led to issues like global warming, deforestation, health and energy crisis and food degradation. In the last few years we have felt the value of instilling love of nature in our children. Bonsai connects you with the five elements of nature - earth, water, fire, air and ether - as described in the Indian spiritual tradition," she said.
On the work front, Preeti will next be seen in "Wajood" which is based on the issue of child trafficking.
