Here's what Varun Dhawan had to say:
The deadly smog also resulted in a huge pile-up of vehicles on the Yamuna Expressway in Delhi's outskirts this morning.
Arjun Kapoor, who is Parineeti's co-star in Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, is also in Delhi. He shared the accident's video and wrote: "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 going to really get any better."

Arjun also posted a couple of tweets showing his concern towards the 'suffocating' city. "The video I posted was sent to me and as I stand at look out of the window the fear that engulfs me is that this is reality and it can happen to any of us if we aren't extremely aware and careful. The smog is dangerous long term & short term. Really hope things improve," read one of Arjun's tweets.
Here are Arjun Kapoor's 'Stay safe Delhi' tweets:
I hope & pray the people who are assigned the job of finding long term solutions activately 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.

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.

Pollution levels in Delhi reached over 10 times the safe limit Tuesday morning, as thick gray clouds of smoke descended over the city. The Indian Medical Association declared a public health emergency, warning people not to go out. Delhi's situation is literally close to a severe crisis. Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia has announced that Delhi's junior schools will be closed and he has also requested people to avoid morning walks.
Stay safe Delhi!
