Diwali celebrations may have ended but the noise of firecrackers is still troubling many people. Actress Renu Desai is unhappy with people bursting loud crackers late at night. She expressed her anger through a series of Instagram posts, and her comments have started a discussion on social media.

Renu Desai questioned why people were continuing to burst crackers even after 11 PM. She said she remained silent on Diwali because people might call her anti-Hindu if she spoke about the issue. However, she could not ignore the situation when people continued bursting loud crackers even after the festival.

Sharing her frustration, Renu 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?”

She also spoke about the difficulties faced by elderly people, small children and patients because of loud sounds. According to her, people are enjoying themselves without thinking about the problems they are creating for others.

She further wrote, “Humans have just become selfish and stupid and blind to the suffering of the old people, tiny babies, sick people in general.”

Renu made it clear that she was not against celebrating Diwali. However, she believes people should celebrate festivals without disturbing others. She also questioned why people cannot complete their celebrations before 10 PM.

Interestingly Renu also shared her views on pollution. She pointed out that vehicles and industries contribute to pollution throughout the year. In her Instagram caption, she said, “Since 3 days people are bursting crackers even at 1am, 2am even 3am.”

She also questioned why people cannot burst crackers before 9 PM or at least finish by 10 PM. She added that talking only about pollution during Diwali was not enough, as pollution from vehicles and industries continued for the remaining 364 days.
