Healthy environment should be a human right: Kunal Jaisingh

On World Health Day actor Kunal Jaisingh, who was previously seen in the television show ‘Kyun Utthe Dil Chhod Aaye’, feels good health comes from a healthy environment and it is a basic human right.

He says, “A clean environment is essential for human health and well-being. Our health and well-being are intimately linked to the state of the environment. Good quality natural environments provide basic needs, in terms of clean air and water, fertile land for food production, and energy and material inputs for production. But at the same time, the environment represents an important pathway for human exposure to polluted air, noise, and hazardous chemicals. So it’s high time for us to unite in keeping our nature free from pollution for a healthy life. Good health can always be a gift from a healthy environment. And this is our human right.”

Kunal, known for playing the protagonist in shows like ‘Ishqbaaaz’ and ‘Pavitra Bhagya’, finds the day as an opportunity to spread awareness about the overall health and well-being of people.

He continues, “I feel it is very much important to raise awareness about the ongoing health issues that concern people across. The day is also an opportunity to spread awareness about the overall health and well-being of people. The pandemic has created a great loss for all of us in the past two years. Now with the experience, we have all faced, it is high time to take the environment and our health seriously to avoid future disasters. I’m glad that somehow we are recovering but still, there should always be a fear inside us to be more concerned.”
