Mumbai, Oct 26 (IANS): Actress Anushka Sharma has urged fans to celebrate Diwali with complete fervour, but by keeping in mind that animals and birds are very sensitive to the loud noise of crackers.

In a video shared on her Twitter account, Anushka said: "It's time your furry friends stopped hiding in some corner and joined you in your Diwali celebrations. Have a PAWsitive Diwali."

The video features Anushka, seated on a sofa, saying that humans can definitely communicate their problems but animals can't and so one needs to be a little sensitive and make Diwali comfortable and happy for all.

"I can scream stop and someone can help me and turn off this annoying and irritating sound. Unfortunately, animals don't have a voice, so they cannot communicate for themselves. Diwali is a very difficult time for them," Anushka said.

" I really want to request you all to help animals and birds by celebrating a noise free and pollution free Diwali. It is a festival of lights, so lets light up everyone's life. Wish you all a very happy Diwali and a very positive Diwali," she added.
