Mumbai, Feb 9 (NationPress) Following the alarming air quality in Delhi, Mumbai is grappling with severe air pollution attributed to extensive construction across the city. Actor and comedian Vir Das recently raised his concerns regarding this issue by posting a detailed message on social media platforms. In response, Sonakshi Sinha has shown her support for the 'Delhi Belly' star.

The 'Dabangg' actress utilized her Instagram stories to share Vir Das' note, which stated, "Unless immediate and significant action is taken, the legacy of every government will be the pollution we endure. This moment will likely be when we recognize the long-term effects it has had on newborns and the elderly alike. Currently, it seems like a new level of pollution, doesn’t it? If we believe it’s unrealistic for them to allow us to live like this for a decade, that’s quite naive."

Emphasizing the urgent need for action, Vir Das expressed, "Some radical policy changes are essential. It goes without saying that these decisions will likely make us quite unhappy in the short term. We will complain just as we did when new airports and bridges were introduced, but ultimately, it will be beneficial. I’m simply pointing out that it’s 7:30 am, and the AQI is at 170. At this hour, children are heading to school and elderly individuals are going for walks. Air quality is non-political; it doesn’t concern income status, religion, or patriotism, and it certainly doesn’t vote. If there is one thing that needs rectification, it’s the air we breathe."

Additionally, Sonakshi Sinha's Instagram stories featured a video with her ‘pasandida mard.’ The 'Khandaani Shafakhana' actress shared a delightful video of turtles playfully interacting and captioned it, "Me with pasandida mard." The video showcases one turtle gently slapping the other in a humorous manner. Sonakshi tagged her husband and actor Zaheer Iqbal in the post.
