Cyrus chats with Sachin Bangera, VP – Celebrity & PR at PETA India, about what actually moves the needle for animals: rescuing elephants from circuses, ending cruel practices, using celebrity influence the right way, and why “adopt, don’t shop” matters. They swap stories about sanctuary life, policy nudges, teaching compassion (start with a plant!), and the simple step that can save ~200 animals a year: going vegan.
