Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur Expresses Concern Over Delhi’s Pollution

Legendary filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, renowned for movies like Bandit Queen, Elizabeth, and Masoom, has voiced his concern over the rising pollution levels in Delhi. On Wednesday, Kapur shared a hazy image of Delhi’s skyline enveloped in smog on Instagram.

In his post, Kapur reflected on the drastic changes in Delhi’s environment over the years. He reminisced about the unpolluted cityscape of 50 years ago, when he could gaze at the Milky Way from his terrace. Kapur wrote, “Yes, it’s polluted. Yes, it is not what Delhi was 50 years ago when I lay on the terrace of our house at night and could often see the Milky Way.” He recalled asking his mother about the vastness of space and her response, “Forever… my son… forever.” These childhood experiences inspired his storytelling.

Kapur continued, “There is no definition, nothing in physics, nothing in our imagination that can define ‘forever’ except by telling a story.” He reminisced about lying on his Charpai and discovering his passion for storytelling. The current polluted state of Delhi, he said, is a stark contrast to his memories.

Shekhar Kapur Thoughts on Solitude and Loneliness

Earlier, Kapur also shared his thoughts on solitude and loneliness. He posted an image of Auguste Rodin’s sculpture The Thinker, depicting a man deep in thought. Kapur expressed his struggle to differentiate between solitude and loneliness, admitting that he only realizes he is lonely when he feels sudden, intense pangs of isolation.

Kapur’s posts highlight his deep connection to Delhi and his ongoing reflections on personal and environmental issues.
