After Bachchan, it was Hrithik Roshan and boxer, Mary Kom to join the league. Hrithik took up the cause in his neighbourhood and explained the importance of cleanliness to the locals out there. Hrithik feels such campaigns are the best way to teach. He wished his children would be with him for this event.
The latest to support the crusade against unclean surroundings are singer Kailash Kher and chic Tamannah Bhatia. They took up their brooms to come out on the streets and clean up the garbage. Tamannah started the movement by cleaning the place near Lokhandwala, where she resides and expects other people to support her in this action.

He said,’’ It is not a onetime action; this is the thing where people will have to change their thought processes.’’
Vivek Oberoi too did not stay behind in this social initiative. He came out on the street for the same and conveyed the message to the masses about the cleanliness drive. He represented his cancer aid association CPAA which was nominated by celebrated journalist Shobha De.
