On Tuesday morning, Delhi woke up to dense smog, leaving people gasping.

The situation hasn't improved over the last few days and Bollywood celebs have started feeling it too.

Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra were in the capital, shooting for their upcoming film Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, and they posted first-hand experiences.

 

'What's happening in Delhi is dangerous in more ways than one can imagine...I'm filming here as I type this and I'm fearing things aren't gonna really get any better,' wrote Arjun.

He added, 'I'm here for a few weeks for my shoot in Delhi but it's disconcerting to see the city suffocating. We need to put politics and personal agendas aside stopping the blame game & come together to find a solution otherwise all of us are gonna be affected in more ways than we realise.'

'I hope & pray the people who are assigned the job of finding long term solutions actively seek & put them into action soon. As citizens we shouldn't feel paranoid about the air we breathe. Our capital is suffering & we are all to blamed but now is the time to right our wrongs.'

His co-star, Parineeti, wrote, '2 days of shooting in Delhi - and my chest is hurting, head is hurting, throat is paining!! Cant believe we have let things go so out of hand that human beings dont have air to breathe to anymore. Can't imagine the situation for kids and elders. Please guys, lets all WAKE UP. We cannot be doing this to our planet. #DelhiSmog'

Varun Dhawan is also shooting in Delhi for Shoojit Sircar's upcoming film, October.

Sharing a selfie, Varun wrote, 'I have clicked this selfie to show you guys what actual smog looks like. I don't want to preach I am equally to blame for this mess as most of the citizens of our great country, but now instead of blaming each other and the government let's change. It's time we go green. #delhichokes'
