The actor took to Twitter to share the details of his day. “Starting my Monday off on a healthy note...Something big is brewing in Chembur! Stay tuned! #SwachhBharatAbhiyan @swachhbharat @Plan_India,” read his first tweet.

“Back to where it all began...Time to make my home clean & healthy! #SwachhChembur #SwachhBharat every small step makes a difference! @Plan_India @swachhbharat,” read his second tweet.

“Basic sanitation & cleanliness is every person's right...And every person's duty! A small change can make a big difference! #SwachhBharat @Plan_India @swachhbharat,” he wrote sometime later.

“The #CleanlinessSoldiers keep our homes clean. They deserve our respect & our helping hand. Together is better! @swachhbharat #BMCMumbai,” said the actor.


Prior to this, Amitabh Bachchan had joined the Swachh Bharat cleanliness drive on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. Dressed in a traditional outfit, the legendary actor was seen interacting with kids and even encouraged them to render their support to the movement.

Even Anushka Sharma lent a helping hand to clean-up Versova Beach. She had even put out a post on Instagram with the caption, “Our country is our mother and to keep our country clean is our duty. Everyday we do things for ourselves, just a little bit of awareness and consciousness in keeping our surroundings clean will enable us to live in a healthy environment and we all know health is everything. Today I went on a cleanliness drive to Versova Beach with my friends and family and in reality, the pleasure I felt in cleaning the beach is indescribable.... In Mahatma Gandhi ji's words ... "An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching" .... So please do your bit #SwachhBharat #SwachhataHiSeva (sic).”
