The Bala star talked about environment conservation and said: "This quarantine has made me get into learning the science of hydroponics and understand the essence of what conservation of environment can truly mean. I have been working closely with my mom during this time. I'm proud that our garden can now produce food for two days of the week! I have tried to be closer to nature during the lockdown and it has made me realise that we can become completely self-sustaining as a community and do our best for its preservation."
Hydroponics or soil-less gardening involves growing healthy plants without the use of a traditional soil medium by using a nutrient like a mineral-rich water solution instead.
