**Summary of Mira Rajput's Criticism of Diwali Firecrackers and the Backlash She Faces** Mira Rajput Kapoor, the wife of actor Shahid Kapoor, recently criticized the use of firecrackers during Diwali celebrations. She took to Instagram to express her disappointment over people continuing to burst crackers despite the severe environmental impact, particularly on air quality in cities like Delhi and Mumbai. Her post emphasized that justifying the use of firecrackers as a "tradition" or "fun for kids" is not acceptable. Mira urged people to stop normalizing this practice, highlighting the hypocrisy of opposing pollution on Earth Day but allowing it during Diwali[1][3][5]. However, her criticism faced backlash from some social media users, who accused her of hypocrisy. Critics pointed out her own lifestyle choices, such as using air conditioning and expensive cars, which they argued also contribute to pollution. They suggested that she should reduce her own environmental footprint before criticizing others[3][5].
