Hina Khan further wrote, "This poor air quality is directly impacting my lungs. This is even more challenging for me due to my battle with breast cancer." Taking care of her health, Hina has now paused all gym and outdoor activities and is spending most of her time indoors.

Mumbai's AQI Reaches 209

It is worth noting that according to the latest data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Mumbai's Air Quality Index (AQI) has crossed 140 in the past week, which is categorised as 'Moderate'. However, this level is considered quite concerning for a city like Mumbai. The increasing level of pollution at various monitoring stations in the city clearly indicates that pollutants are accumulating in the air across the city, increasing the risk of respiratory illnesses.
