Bollywood actor Vaani Kapoor raised alarm over Delhi's hazardous air quality after waking to an AQI of 447, among the world's highest during her Diwali family visit. Posting Tuesday afternoon on Instagram Stories, she urged future celebrations "without dimming the air we breathe." Delhi-NCR remains under Stage 2 Graded Response Action Plan restrictions amid toxic smog blanketing the capital post-Diwali. The AQI scale categorizes 401-500 as severe, affecting healthy individuals and critically impacting those with existing conditions. Kapoor earlier shared plans for a quiet, mindful Diwali with home-cooked food, lighting diyas, and sharing sweets without social calendar pressure. The Commission for Air Quality Management imposed GRAP Stage 2 immediately Sunday as thick smog engulfed the region. (PC: HT)
