At a recent event, Akshay Kumar explained why felicitating the martyrs is a great step but it's still not enough. At this event, Akshay was invited to felicitate soldiers who sacrificed their lives at the border and present plaques to their families. He expressed that even though soldiers deserve every bit of the validation and honour, it should not be just about commemorations.
