After the CPCB-generated data indicated AQI level at an all-time high post-Diwali celebration, Mira Kapoor has slammed those who have been bursting firecrackers in a scathing post on social media.
AQI levels have shot up post-Diwali celebrations, and Mira Kapoor is not holding back. Mira, the wife of actor Shahid Kapoor, has slammed those who have been bursting crackers in a scathing post on social media.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has generated data on the AQI level on Tuesday morning, in which it is clear that this year India has marked its presence in the list of the most polluted countries. Many celebrities have been urging people to stop this tradition on Diwali and celebrate the festival sans crackers, keeping everybody's health first in mind.
Mira calls out to discontinue the bursting crackers on the occasion of the festivity, saying, “Why are we still bursting crackers? It's not okay even it's just for the kids to see once or we're just doing it once for them to have the experience” In continuation of this, she added, “Neither is it okay for your pataka aesthetic to hold a phuljhadi for the gram. Let's please stop normalising this. If we normalise it so will our kids and this will never stop.”
Kapoor continues her remark by writing, “Say no to crackers cannot be the poster you get your kids to make for Earth Day and then forget about it when Diwali comes along. AQl news is not just for the next Instagram story. It's the air our children breathe.”
In her next story, she scribbled, “This is not a tradition I wish to indulge in. And what's sad is despite the privilege, education, awareness and affluence what lacks is common sense. So no I won't send my kids to watch while you'll have some cracker fun. Please stop.”
Despite being the celebrity spouse of a renowned actor, Shahid Kapoor, Mira is also a public voice for wellness and lifestyle. She has always taken a stand for the right matter. In earlier times, many other celebrities have come into the fight to acknowledge the fans and the people about the inconvenience that firecrackers cause. Priyanka Chopra, Vaani Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, and many others come forward in an appeal to stop the act of bursting crackers, as it is no longer an enjoyment to celebrate the festivity.
Amid the AQI level data, Delhi has indeed surged into the category of having dangerous air quality, following Mumbai, Haryana, Bihar, and many other states, who too have also registered in the same list. Despite multiple bans on firecrackers, people have not adhered to the rules. As a result, the AQI touched its peak overnight.
