Kajal Aggarwal and Shreyas Talpade have become part of the growing #WhatsOnYourPlate Challenge, an awareness campaign associated with the upcoming film The India Story.

Kajal Aggarwal, Shreyas Talpade join #WhatsOnYourPlate food safety challenge ahead of The India Story release

Kajal shared a photo of her meal along with a thought-provoking message that questioned whether the food on our plates is truly safe to consume. Shreyas also supported the campaign by asking people to become more mindful consumers and join the movement aimed at promoting awareness about food safety.

The initiative invites participants to post pictures of their meals on social media and nominate friends and family members to continue the challenge, creating a chain of conversations around the quality and safety of food. As part of the campaign, Kajal nominated actors Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Rakul Preet Singh to participate, helping the initiative reach a wider audience across digital platforms. The challenge seeks to encourage discussions about the food people consume every day and draw attention to concerns that often remain unnoticed.

The campaign reflects the central theme of The India Story, which focuses on the issue of pesticide farming and its impact on food. By extending the discussion beyond the film and into people’s daily lives, the initiative aims to make audiences more aware of what they eat and inspire them to make informed choices. Designed as an interactive social media movement, the challenge encourages individuals to think more carefully about an issue that affects millions of households.
