Mumbai has been covered in a thick layer of smog throughout the week, making the city look hazy and polluted. The air quality is getting worse day by day, and Mumbai is now moving deeper into the ‘very poor’ air category. The situation has become alarming as the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached a severe level, showing how unhealthy and difficult the air has become for people to breathe and carry on with daily life.
Stand-up comedian and actor Vir Das began his day with a witty remark about Mumbai’s worsening air quality, joking that he has reached a stage where coughing is no longer needed because his lungs have already “adjusted” to the pollution.
He shared a video on Instagram from his living room in Mumbai, using a smoke filter to highlight the issue. The video had a text that read “Morning from Mumbai.” In the clip, he says, “Morning from Mumbai, hope everyone is doing fine. I’m not going to cough anymore, my lungs have already adapted. You think this smoke is outside? No, this is what’s happening inside you.”
