Mumbaikars, for the first time, are facing major air quality problems as a thick layer of smog has covered the sky of Mumbai. Amid the city’s deteriorating air condition, comedian and actor Vir Das has voiced his concerns about the AQI of Mumbai in a song that he composed. Not just that, Das also wrote, sang, and shared it on Instagram.
In the video, Vir was seen singing to the camera while playing what appeared to be a ukulele. “Woke up this morning and I took a little breath. God showed up because he thought that I was dead. I was like, hang on, bro, it’s because of the smoke. It’s just life inside of a desi Metro! AQI!” he sang.
He went on to add, “**** m life. And I really try to keep the spirit of Mumbai… Smoke is wrong, we can’t see eye to eye/ And my throat is dry/ Bandra-Worli Sea Link I can’t see either side… Builders building every day. Do we need 9000 BHKs?”

He further sang, “If your kids are locked in a room, you hear bulldozers boom! Dadaji is like, let me die beta, it’s not too soon. Mere lungs hai bund (My lungs are closed), it’s no fun. If your customers are dead, who will buy your flat? AQI, AQI, let me die. This smoke is making me choke. Why can’t we see eye to eye? AQI.”
Sharing the post, Vir captioned it as, “A.Q.I. YAI YAIII! Woke up, took a breath, jammed this.”
Das’ rant comes at a time when Mumbai is experiencing another week of hazy skies and alarming AQI levels. On Friday morning, the Central Pollution Control Board recorded Bandra Reclamation at 214 and Bandra Kurla Complex at 222, both falling under the ‘poor’ category. Other areas, including Borivali East (150) and Chembur (132), also reported compromised air quality.
