As the post caught Johnson’s attention, he wrote that his throat and eyes started burning when he landed in Mumbai. “This is accurate. I arrived in Mumbai yesterday, and even with air purifiers in my hotel room and wearing a N95 mask outside, my throat and eyes burn. I agree, it’s a pretty serious health situation,” he wrote.

The post has amassed nearly two million views with several social media users reacting to it. An X user wrote, “I lived in India when I was 10 and still have a bit of asthma and lung damage from it, number one longevity rule is never go to delhi.” Another user commented, “We’re so accustomed to being poisoned that we’re actually appreciating this air quality.”

“I agree. The situation is dire, the air quality is really bad. It is difficult to go outside. I am constantly feeling it in my eyes and the stuffed nose. Some serious action is required to fix this situation,” a third user reacted.

Johnson made waves after he developed Blueprint as a platform for cutting-edge methods for reversing ageing. The 45-year-old spoke at the event titled Don’t Die, hosted by Zomato’s Deepinder Goyal for 50 attendees.
