Harshvardhan Rane, who is an animal lover and cares for their welfare, has decided to forsake leather footwear and opt for vegan footwear, instead. Since vegan footwear is not easily accessible, the actor buys it online or picks it up from selected outlets selling them while travelling abroad. In the recent past, the actor had also shot for PETA’s vegan fashion look-book showcasing nearly a dozen stylish outfits –— all created without fur, leather, wool, or exotic skins.
