Veteran actor Anupam Kher has backed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent appeal urging citizens to conserve fuel and adopt more sustainable everyday habits. On Monday, May 18, the actor shared a video
of himself travelling from Jaipur to Delhi on the Vande Bharat Express, calling it a small but meaningful step towards the larger goal of resource conservation.
Posting the self-recorded video on social media, Anupam spoke about the need to reduce fuel consumption and make more responsible choices in daily life.
Anupam Kher Supports PM Modi’s Fuel Conservation Appeal
Referring to the Prime Minister’s message, Anupam said, “Namaskar friends, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to the people of the country that we should all try to save petrol and diesel. Where possible, we should use public transport. We should do carpooling. We should avoid taking out our car for short distances. And in our daily lives, we should make small changes and contribute to the country. I think he is absolutely right.”

The actor explained that he chose to travel by train instead of taking a private vehicle or flight as a conscious decision in line with the appeal.
He added, “And with that in mind, I am travelling from Jaipur to Delhi by Vande Bharat train. This is not a big sacrifice. But if we all start making small efforts, it can have a big impact.”
Anupam Kher Urges People To Make Small Changes
Anupam further stressed that responsible citizenship is not limited to words, but must also reflect in everyday choices. He urged people to make minor but consistent changes in their habits to support sustainability.
He said, “In today’s world, being a responsible citizen does not just mean talking. In fact, it is important to make small changes in our habits. For example, if two people can travel in one car, then why take out two separate cars?”
Concluding his message, the actor said, “Let’s contribute as much as we can. Thank you. Jai Hind.”
Along with the video, Anupam also wrote a Hindi caption, which translates to, “A small effort from my side in Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s campaign for the country! Jai Hind!”
PM Modi’s Appeal To Citizens
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently made the appeal during a public gathering in Secunderabad. He encouraged citizens to reduce fuel consumption by using public transport, metro services and carpooling wherever possible.
He also spoke about increasing the use of electric vehicles, prioritising railway transport for goods movement and reducing dependence on foreign products as part of a more sustainable lifestyle approach.
