Making mockery of men & his poverty is so easy. Shame on the person who took this pic & public figure for sharing it 4 promoting a film.

Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is a film with a social message and puts the points out the fault in our society through a romantic story. It also stars Bhumi Pednekar. The film has crossed Rs 100-crore-club and will mark Akshay’s fifth consecutive hit in the last 20 months. His last film, Jolly LLB 2 too was a huge success.
