“What Are We Actually Doing?”: Amit Sadh Asks Delhiites To Look Inward As AQI Stays ‘Very Poor’
Amit Sadh says citizens must reflect on littering and vehicle upkeep amid Delhi’s “very poor” AQI, at the trailer launch of Shubh Laabh on JioHotstar.
The remarks came as Delhi’s air stayed in the “very poor” category, with AQI readings above 340 through Saturday. The trailer launch also closed the two-day Shubh Labh Startup Summit 2026, presented by Favcy Venture Builders. Asked by the media about pollution, Sadh, who was born in Delhi, framed it as an issue of collective behaviour.
What He Said
He said everyone can see the situation, and while people always expect the administration to do its job, which it does, everyone should seriously reconsider their own thinking and habits. He asked whether people spit paan on streets and walls, throw wrappers out of moving cars, or discard toffee wrappers carelessly, noting that plastic damages the environment and the look of the country’s buildings. He also asked whether people service their vehicles on time. “Before we ask anyone else in the world a question, we should ask ourselves what we are doing,” he said, adding that he asks himself each morning what he will do for his country and family. He described the present moment as crucial and said things are moving in a positive direction.
The Other Side Of The Debate
Sadh’s message focuses on individual responsibility. Pollution experts and civic groups often point out that Delhi’s winter smog has multiple sources, including vehicular emissions, construction dust, crop-residue burning in neighbouring states and weather conditions, many of which require policy and regulatory action as well as individual change. Public demands for stronger government measures are common each season, and the two views are generally seen as complementary.
