Adah Sharma told Times Now's Heena Gambir that for her, being kind to animals was never a cause, it was a 'way of life' that came to her naturally because of her upbringing. "Jaise aap apne friend ki Mummy ko nahi khaoge, waise aap kisi jaanwar ki mummy ko nahi khaoge," she said explaining the matter very simply.She then added, "Everybody teaches their children to be good to animals, but there's a selective compassion. You are kind to dogs and cats, but you are not kind to chicken and the other animals that you eat." The actress stated that she was taught that everybody is equal and that animals' life is as precious as any human's life. The actress believes that humans are inherently kind, but they are ignorant or not really empathetic towards others or animals that they eat.
