Mumbai's Worsening Air Quality: Juhi Chawla Says It's Like ‘Inhaling Dust’, Dia Mirza Seconds

Actor Juhi Chawla, who lives with her husband Jay Mehta in Mumbai, recently took to Twitter and complained about the city's worsening air quality. Chawla said that when she came out to her balcony for a walk, she felt like she was "inhaling dust".

“What has happened to the air in Mumbai ..?? I tried to walk in my balcony... and I felt like I was inhaling dust... only dust," she wondered. The actor-environmentalist further added, "Maybe the lockdown wasn’t so bad after all, I remember the air being so blissfully clear.”

Agreeing with her, actor Dia Mirza wrote, “It’s been awful!!! Is it construction dust, waste burning, stubble burning, industrial emissions or all? Mumbai has had worse #AQI than Delhi since the beginning of this year. So much for being a coastal city. Doesn’t seem to make a difference anymore.”

Earlier talking about taking precautions during shooting amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the 53-year-old Chawla told  Hindustan Times “There is no need to panic. I already went for the shoot of a commercial, and instead of 100 odd people, the unit was scaled down to 60 people, and the work got done very efficiently. Everybody feels strongly about it, just proper hygiene is required, and arrange it in a way. We will be fine. I am not really paranoid (about working full time)."
