As part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Swachch Bharat Abhiyaan' on Gandhi Jayanti, Javed Akhtar headed to Mumbai Central station to sweep the platforms. Javed was one
among the handful of celebrities from Bollywood to join the PM's token campaign on Gandhi Jayanti for a clean India. Speaking of the experience, Javed said, "It is always a
pleasure to be part of any campaign for a better nation. And Modiji's 'Swach Bharat Abhiyaan' was definitely a wonderful idea. I happily supported it." Javed Saab points
out a significant personal historical link of his past to the clean-India campaign . "50 years ago on 4 October,1964 I left my home town Gwalior to reach Mumbai by a train that took me
to Mumbai Central. And now, just two days short of the day I had arrived in Mumbai 50 years ago, I was the same place as part of a clean-Indian campaign."
