Sonakshi Sinha extends support to Vir Das over pollution concerns

Mumbai’s pollution levels have risen drastically due to heavy construction and infrastructure projects. Actor and comedian Vir Das recently voiced his concern on the matter by sharing a long note on social media. Now, Sonakshi Sinha has extended her support to him.

Sonakshi took to her Instagram stories and reshared Vir’s note and commented “100 per cent.” Vir’s note read “Unless something drastic is done, the legacy of each government is going to be the pollution they let us live in. This point will probably be taken up when we realise the long term effect it had on the generation just born, and those in old age too. Right now it feels like new pollution doesn’t it? And if we think it’s unrealistic they’d let us live like that for a decade.”

Stressing the necessity to take the required action, Vir added, “Some drastic policy decisions need to happen. Goes without saying that the decisions will make us hugely unhappy in the interim. We will moan like we did when we got new airports and new bridges, but it will eventually be worth it. I’m just saying it’s 7:30 am and the AQI is 170. At this time, there are kids going to school and old people on walks. Air isn’t political, air doesn’t care about your income status, air isn’t religious, air isn’t patriotic, air doesn’t vote. If there’s one thing worth fixing, it’s the air.”
