Asrani’s backlash comes after Donald Trump has called India’s air quality to be 'filthy'. Trump said, “Look at China, how filthy it is. Look at Russia. Look at India. The air is filthy. I walked out of the Paris Accord as we had to take out trillions of dollars and we were treated very unfairly”. This remark did not sit well with Apurva Asrani.
