Vir Das Jabs at Mumbai’s Smog, Equates City’s Air Quality to Smoking Marlboro Light | Gossip Buzz

Ah, Mumbai! The city that never sleeps, and apparently, never breathes clean air either. Our favorite comedic philosopher, Vir Das, known for his sharp wit and fearless commentary on societal issues, is back at it again, and this time, he’s taken a jab at Mumbai’s glorious air pollution. Yes, folks, he’s likened the city’s air to indulging in a smoke, because why not? 😷

Vir, in his trademark style, took to Instagram to share a cheeky post: "I’ll smoke a cigarette socially, maybe fifteen days a year. The remaining days, I’m a breathing Mumbaikar. Same taste. Today Mumbai was a Marlboro Light."

This isn’t the first time our wisecracking environmentalist has sounded the alarm about Mumbai’s deteriorating Air Quality Index. Just last month, he penned a heartfelt note, calling for immediate action before our newborns start resembling little chimney stacks.

He lamented, "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 realize the long-term effects it had on the generation just born, and those in old age too. Right now, it feels like new pollution, doesn’t it?"

Vir’s solution? Brace yourself for some "hugely unhappy" policy changes. But hey, remember how we moaned about new airports and bridges? Look how that turned out! So, he’s optimistic that we’ll eventually breathe easier, even if it means grumbling our way through the transition. After all, air doesn’t care if you’re rich, poor, or politically inclined. It’s the great equalizer, and fixing it might just be the one thing worth doing.

Nisha’s Nutshell: Remember, in the grand Bollywood saga that is life, sometimes the villain isn’t a person but the very air we breathe. So, tighten your masks, dear readers, because the real hero we need might just be a breath of fresh air! 🌬️
