What’s giving Varun sleepless nights

Actor Varun Dhawan has raised concerns over the declining quality of soil and the loss of natural nutrients after his recent visit to his newly acquired plot of farmland. Sharing what he learned from farmers, the actor said the growing use of chemicals and nutrient-depleted soil is a matter of concern. He admitted that the issue has been “giving me sleepless nights” and sought suggestions on possible solutions.

“When I visited my farm, the farmers told me that today's soil lacks natural nutrients that used to be present before. The seeds are also devoid of those nutrients - zinc, magnesium. The chemicals are affecting all it,” Varun told IANS. He added, “But sadly, that is what we are consuming, everyone is consuming, and it is very worrisome. It has been giving me sleepless nights, and I just wanted to know from people who are into farming and produce - what is the solution. What is the way to combat this?”

Earlier, the actor had shared a glimpse of his farmland along with a heartfelt note, expressing his happiness about trying his hand at “kheti”. In August, Varun Dhawan revealed that he had purchased a farm. The actor shared a video on Instagram showing himself at the property, enjoying a cup of chai and biscuits.
