A while ago, Deepika shared a note on her Instagram story, tagging BMC and BMC Public Health Department to help with the current air quality in the city. Recently, BMC sent notices to construction sites, halting the work across the city a few days ago. In no time, the AQI of Mumbai had improved. The Piku actress shared a picture of the city showing the bad AQI and wrote, “This city (& it’s children) are choking! How is this okay? @bmc @mybmchealth help!” followed by a folded hands emoji.

Meanwhile, Deepika recently made headlines after she cancelled her Paris appearance due to the limited flight operations amid the ongoing Middle East tensions. A source told Mid-Day, “Deepika was initially confirmed to attend. She had zeroed in on her outfits and begun fittings for the appearance. But her flight was among the many that were cancelled in the last few days. Also, given that the war has been escalating and affecting several countries across West Asia, she reconsidered whether it was the right time to be travelling.”
