The shameful attack in Uri killed many of our soldiers and shocked the entire nation. While everyone's debating about the issue, there's not many who have come forward to lend a helping hand. And like always, Akshay Kumar has made a difference.
Akshay has issued cheques of Rs 5-10 lakhs for each of the martyr's families. "A medal or an award is good but not enough. More needs to be done for them and their families. They need money too," he said.
Rohit, whose younger brother Rockey, a Border Security Force constable, died fighting terrorists during the Udhampur terrorist attack in 2015 spoke highly of the actor. "It’s a great step from Akshay’s side because he is the only actor who thought about us and what a family goes through when a soldier dies for the country. We felt really nice that at least someone spared some time for us," he said.
He recently presented 10 families with Rs 5 lakh each. And this isn't the first time Akshay has come forward and helped people. We wish others too took a cue from this Bollywood superstar!
