&nbsp;&nbsp;Actor and leader Kamal Haasan spoke to people on Friday about the money problem India may face soon.

He said fuel for homes, farms, and factories is getting costly because of the war. He wants state and central tax on fuel to come down. He also asked for cheap public transport so people use fewer private cars. &nbsp;Kamal Haasan said the country must stand together in hard times. He used words from Atal Bihari Vajpayee and said governments change but the nation stays. He asked people to act with care like they did in past tough times. He made a direct request to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to lower fuel rates and bus and train fares. He feels this will help common people and reduce the load on families. The appeal came as a video message to the public. &nbsp; &nbsp;India is now seeing a rise in petrol, diesel, and cooking gas prices. Many homes are finding it hard to get cooking gas on time. This is putting more stress on daily life and business. Experts say the West Asia issue can make crude oil cross key price levels if it gets worse. This will affect transport, goods, and food costs in India. Prime Minister Modi also spoke to the country recently. He asked people to save power, avoid buying gold, and stop foreign trips for now. The goal is to keep the economy strong. &nbsp;Kamal Haasan has been active in social issues for years. He often speaks on public problems through his party. He wants quick steps to help people deal with high costs. Many citizens online are now talking about his message. They want the government to act fast on fuel tax and travel fares.
