Actress Amyra Dastur on Tuesday reacted to the worsening air quality in Delhi, saying we are not learning from our mistakes.
"This is very sad. Delhi has always been one of my most favourite cities but clearly we aren't learning from our mistakes. This time I fear an apology to Mother Nature will not be enough. We need to change. I just hope by the time we do, it isn't too late," Amyra tweeted, in reaction to a news piece.
