I thought it was a worthy initiative. And #stripthefur seemed like a good way to go about it, because it is both engaging and a fun way to create awareness: Kirti Kulhari

A recent video features Kirti Kulhari with Irrfan Khan where she is seen waxing a portion of his arm. “We did a film together called Raita and the #stripthefur challenge developed during the shoot,” she explains about the video. While she isn’t part of a animal welfare organisation, she credits the idea — which takes a stand against animal cruelty in the fur trade — to her brother-in-law, Sahar Sehgaal and his art partner, Marco Russo. “I thought it was a worthy initiative. And #stripthefur seemed like a good way to go about it, because it is both engaging and a fun way to create awareness.” She adds that she has spoken to a bunch of people to take up the challenge, whenever they feel up to it. “It would be great to find people like Irrfan, who so spontaneously and graciously agreed to the challenge, to support the cause,” she concludes.
