Plastic pollution has been one of the major concern of environmentalists across the world. Recently, Bollywood actor Salman Khan put forward a subtle yet impactful message on the topic with a hilarious video. The 'Sultan' star, who is vacationing post the success of his recent film, shared an anecdote from his holiday on what ensued when he offered water to a monkey in a plastic bottle.

The 53-year old shared a video on Instagram, where he can be seen offering water to a monkey, whom he calls his 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', in a plastic bottle. The monkey, however, refuses. Khan then offers water in a glass and the monkey quickly drinks it off.
