Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' as a great move, Bollywood star Aamir Khan said that not just celebrities but every citizen should participate in this movement to make the country clean.
The 49-year-old actor, who was present during the launch of the 'Swachh Bharat' mission in the capital last month, said that everyone should make cleanliness a habit.
"The 'Swachh Bharat' campaign started by our Prime Minister is a great move. Not only celebrities but every citizen should join this movement and not just for one day but ever single days from now on. We should make it a habit that we will not throw garbage anywhere on the road," he said.
The Bollywood actor, who has been raising awareness about various social issues with his TV show 'Satyamev Jayate', added, "Solid and liquid waste management should be adopted. Our office in Mumbai is completely waste free. We recycle our waste."
Besides Aamir, other celebrities who have lent their support to 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' are Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Hrithik Roshan, Kamal Haasan, Anupam Kher among others.
