Akshay Kumar Lauds CRPF, BSF, SSB’s Decision To Recruit Transgenders; Hopes Other Occupations Follow Suit

Bollywood’s Khiladi Akshay Kumar took to his social media handle last night to praise a progressive move made by the government. He shared IPS officer Dipanshu Kabra’s post which read: “Historic move towards #Equality. Officials of @BSF_India, @CRPFIndia & @DGSSB told @HMOIndia that they will recruit transgenders to the Officer Cadre Posts of Assistant Commandments. This will deliver a very positive message to the society & strengthen our Social Fabric.” Akshay called this brilliant news and added that he hopes rest of the occupations in the country follow suit.

Meanwhile on the work front, Akshay will next be seen in Raghava Lawrence’s horror comedy Laxmmi Bomb, which is a remake of the Tamil movie Muni 2: Kanchana. Also featuring Kiara Advani, the film follows the story of a man who is possessed by the ghost of a transgender woman. In an earlier interview, the actor had shared that Laxmmi Bomb was a mentally intensive role and has taught him to be even more understanding about gender equality. He had stated, “Be anything you want, but don't be ignorant. Kindness is the key to peace.”

Laxmmi Bomb was initially supposed to release in theatres. However, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it will now premiere on OTT platform Disney+Hotstar soon.
