Even Akshay’s actress-turned-author wife Twinkle Khanna lauded him for his thoughtful gesture. Twinkle shared how her hubby made her proud as 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.’(sic)”

Akshay has always been proactive when it comes to contributing to issues of national importance. With more celebs coming forward to donate to India’s war against COVID-19, hopefully we all will be able to overcome the tough times smoothly.

In India so far 1008 Covid-19 positive cases have been confirmed. Whereas 21 deaths have been reported so far.
