PM Modi’s act became a talking point on social media and it didn’t go unnoticed in Bollywood either. Several B-Town stars also praised him for his self and society serving exercise. One of them was Anil Kapoor who stated that the cleanliness mission was not just restricted to the homes, but the whole environment. The actor said that it was crucial to reduce the ‘collection’ since only that could help us in being happy, healthy and fit.
