Anushka Sharma turned 30 wants to start animal shelter

Mumbai, May 2: Actress Anushka Sharma, who turned 30 on Tuesday, wants to start the new decade of her life by building an animal shelter for homeless animals.

The actress, who married cricketer Virat Kohli last year, penned a note to announce the project on her special day.

"On my birthday, in my own little way, I'm starting something that will give our fellow living beings equal rights, equal care and equal love.

I'm building an animal shelter just outside Mumbai - a home for those animals that are stranded, left to fend for themselves, have to brave harsh surroundings. A home where they will be cared for, loved, protected and nurtured," Anushka wrote in the note posted on Twitter.
