Telugu actor Renu Desai took to her social media late on Monday to question those bursting firecrackers with no concern for safety or timings. In a note that she posted on her Instagram, the actor remarked that she would be called anti-Hindu had she pointed this out on Diwali, despite people bursting loud crackers till late into the night. She also stated that there was no point in talking about pollution, stating that India suffered from pollution most of the year for other reasons.

Renu Desai slammed those bursting firecrackers till 3 AM even after Diwali.

Renu Desai calls out those bursting crackers late into the night

Renu’s note on Instagram saw her complaining about people bursting firecrackers despite it being 11 PM. She wrote, “It's 11pm and people are still bursting such loud fire crackers! If I said anything yesterday people would call me anti Hindu so I kept quiet. But which festival is there tonight at 11pm for people to burst such loud crackers?” stating that she didn’t speak up on Diwali for a reason.

She then called those not taking safety and health into consideration selfish, adding, “Humans have just become selfish and stupid and blind to the suffering of the old people, tiny babies, sick people in general. It's all about being blinded by sheer stupidity and lack of empathy! My fellow humans can suffer as long as I get to enjoy.”

Says there’s no point talking about pollution on Diwali

In her caption, too, Renu wondered why people were bursting crackers till 3 AM, writing, “Why can’t people burst as many tons of crackers they want before 9pm? Or at least finish by 10pm? Why is your senseless enjoyment coming at the cost of someone else’s trauma? Since 3 days people are bursting crackers even at 1am, 2am even 3am (told to me by my friends because my bedroom is soundproof).”

She then stated that bringing in pollution into the conversation was pointless, “Talking about pollution is pointless because we have so much pollution because of cars and industries for 364 days that 1 day of crackers isn’t going to do much so you guys can enjoy your festival of lights by making it the competition of Sound but just try to enjoy it by max 10pm. Let the old people and new born babies and sick people be stress free post 10pm.”

Renu ended her note with an appeal, “People try to be a little bit more kinder towards your own fellow humans and don’t torture them under the name of enjoyment.”
