Chitrangada urges everyone to celebrate a smokeless, soundless Diwali

A spontaneous and happy soul, actress Chitrangada Satarupa loves celebrating all Indian festivals. The Festival of Lights is also a special occasion for her to deck up and enjoy with her loved ones. “Durga Puja is over but the festivity is not. Now, we are eagerly waiting for Kali Puja. I am extremely excited. Aren’t you? Yet, we need to keep in mind all the health protocols about masks and social distancing,” the actress told us.

With celebrations underway, Chitrangada is worried about the noise levels going up again like every year. And this being the pandemic year, it’s not just the noise that is bothering her. “There is a humble request from me which someone or the other does every year. Please let’s not burst crackers. This year all the more because we are fighting a global health crisis. COVID-19 has spread all over the world and people are suffering everywhere. By bursting crackers, we only add to their owes. It also pollutes the environment and degrades the air quality. Old people, those with heart diseases and anxiety, animals on the streets and pets at home - all fear the noise it creates. Besides, we all know that the virus attacks through the respiratory system so going soundless and smokeless is the responsible thing to do this Diwali,” she said.
