The Air Quality Index hit 367 on Monday in Delhi and if you think it can't get any worse, you're mistaken. Delhi’s air could turn even more toxic.

An expecting mother in Delhi found an interesting way to send out this message loud and clear - a unique pregnancy photoshoot.

Using her photographs and messages, this to-be mother says that she has promised clean air to her newborn and that can turn into a possibility with everyone coming together. Just like other expecting mothers, Urvashi Dagar's schedule should ideally include walks in the park but she adds how due to poor air quality, she ends up coughing and feeling uncomfortable all the time.

Even her 5-year- old daughter develops rashes all over her body if she steps out of the house during Diwali.

This message has been captured beautifully by a Delhi-based photographer, Siddharth Malkania, whose aim was not only to click an expecting mother's journey but help her start a dialogue around this.

These pictures will make you rethink your choices. In fact, it's high time we did that.
