Why is glamorous Deepika wearing that odd mask?

Actor Deepika Padukone these days wears an unflattering mask when out at a gym or while partying. That’s her new paint ad that comes with a message against air pollution.

The ad opens on a movie set where Padukone puts on a mask immediately after shooting a scene, leaving the crew perplexed. She is shown wearing the mask everywhere she goes.

The voiceover says that not many people are aware that the air inside our homes can be five times more polluted than the air outside. According to a study by the World Health Organization (WHO), of the 20 most polluted cities in the world, 13 are in India.
