Indore Street Play Brings KBC Dairy Debate To Audiences
A television conversation about milk led to a street play in Indore.
The conversation happened on Kaun Banega Crorepati between Amitabh Bachchan and Siddharth Sharma.
Siddharth said he had been vegan for seven years.
He explained why he does not use products that come from animals.
The play asked people to think about where milk comes from and how dairy animals are treated.
Fifteen performers presented the 10-minute show using jokes, questions and drama.
The organizers want young people to learn more about animal welfare and food choices.
Similar performances are being held in several Indian cities.
