Ishaan Khatter Speaks Out on Delhi’s Toxic Air: ‘Being Forced to Breathe This Is Unacceptable’
Ishaan Khatter on Delhi's Bad AQI: The growing problem of bad air in Delhi has now worried Bollywood celebrities as well. Many film personalities have already shared their reactions to the pollution, with Ishaan Khatter recently following suit.
The nation's capital, Delhi, is once again gripped by toxic air. The rising pollution has not only raised concerns about the health of ordinary people, but even film industry stars are now openly expressing their displeasure. Recently, actor Ishaan Khatter reacted sharply to Delhi's worsening Air Quality Index (AQI), calling it unacceptable.
On Saturday, the AQI in Delhi exceeded 400, which falls in the 'severe' category. According to some private apps, the figure reached over 700 in many areas. The situation worsened so much that the administration had to impose Stage IV restrictions. Meanwhile, Ishaan Khattar shared a post on social media, expressing concern that if this situation isn't alarming enough, then what is?
Ishaan wrote that not being able to breathe clean air is bad enough, but being forced to live with toxic air is completely unacceptable. His statement quickly went viral on social media, and many people agreed with it. Ishaan believes that pollution is no longer just a matter of numbers, but has become a serious issue directly related to quality of life and health.
Ishaan is not the only artist to raise his voice on this issue. Previously, actresses like Taapsee Pannu, Kriti Sanon, Vaani Kapoor, and Richa Chadha have also expressed concern about Delhi's pollution. Everyone has the same question: how long will people and the system continue to consider this situation normal?

During a recent interview, actor and writer Manav Kaul shared his experience with Delhi's air. He explained that within a short time of arriving in Delhi, his eyes begin to burn, breathing becomes difficult, and by evening, he begins to cough. Manav questioned how such air can be considered normal when children are going to school, and elderly and sick people are living here.
The pollution problem has spread beyond Delhi; it has now reached other metropolitan cities as well. Recently, singer Armaan Malik shared a post on social media about the increasing pollution in Mumbai. He wrote that clean air is not a luxury, but a basic necessity. Armaan appealed to people to raise their voices, tag the relevant authorities, and ensure this issue is not ignored. These reactions clearly demonstrate that pollution is no longer just an environmental issue; it has become a social and humanitarian crisis.
