    Akshay Hailed As 'Khiladi Who Plays Straight From The Heart' For His 25 Cr. Donation, PM Modi, Bollywood Lauds His Efforts

    India is under a lockdown till 14th April to control the spread of the novel coronavirus in the country. Coronavirus has been declared a pandemic and has affected hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. But with the lockdown, there came a woe for the poor who earn their money with daily activities. PM Narendra Modi had therefore announced PM Relief Care for those who would be severely affected by the lockdown and Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar set a shining example by pledging to donate a whopping  Rs. 25 crore towards this noble cause.

    This is something that has made all of us proud about the star. But wife Twinkle Khanna seems to be the proudest of them all. Taking to Twitter, she wrote, “The man makes me proud. When I asked him if he was sure as it was such a massive amount and we needed to liquidate funds, he just said, ‘ I had nothing when I started and now that I am in this position, how can I hold back from doing whatever I can for those who have nothing.’” See her tweet here:

    Paresh Rawal also lauded Akshay’s contribution and called him ‘Khiladi who plays straight from the heart.’ He also chided trolls who have trolled him by calling him Canadian. Here’s what he wrote:

    In fact, PM Narendra Modi too acknowledged the contribution by calling it a ‘great gesture.’

    R. Madhavan called him a ‘true hero’.

    Vikrant Massey, Amaal Malik, Rangoli Chandel and Kriti Sanon also showed their respect.

    Varun Dhawan and Hrithik Roshan seems to have been inspired from Akshay’s generous gesture and has pledged support to the cause. While Varun has donated Rs. 30 lakh, Hrithik would donate N95 and FFP3 masks for BMC workers.

    Let’s all join to help them who help all the sunsung heroes who help us all year round.
