Sahil bared all, his body painted to look like a tiger for PETA India's latest campaign, Cages are Cruel, on International Tiger Day.

Through the photoshoot, Sahil and PETA have called attention to the suffering of the big cats who are caged in zoos. The aim is to encourage people to say no to cages and let wild animals be free.

In the eye-catching image, Sahil is seen as a tiger who is trapped in a cage. The picture was shot by photographer Rohit Gupta, and the bodypaint was done by Nahush Pise.

Speaking about why he wanted to be associated with the campaign, Sahil said, "Animals inside zoos often become so frustrated and depressed that they endlessly pace, circle, or sway. By teaming up with my friends at PETA India, I hope to encourage people to avoid any activity where an animal is confined to a cage."

PETA India has revealed that lions and other big cats have 18,000 times less space in zoos than in nature, and that figure rises to 1 million times less space for captive polar bears.
