Akshay Kumar Supports The Families Of #UriAttack Martyrs, Provides Financial Aid To Ten Families

The recent Uri attack claimed lives of 18 of our most courageous soldiers and it definitely left India in a state of shock and anger. While many are debating the issue whether India should strike back and attack Pakistan, others are busy ranting and grieving on their social media accounts.

However, there is one actor who believes in call to action rather than armchair activism. According to a DNA report, Akshay Kumar has issued cheques of Rs 5-10 lakhs for each of the martyr's families. Just a month ago, Akshay was invited at a felicitation ceremony of soldiers where he had said,

"A medal or an award is good but not enough. More needs to be done for them and their families. They need money too."

Rohit, whose younger brother Rockey, a Border Security Force constable, died fighting terrorists during the Udhampur terrorist attack in 2015 was praised Bollywood's Khiladi Kumar. He said,

"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."

Akshay Kumar presented 10 families with Rs 5 lakh each and has left a very high precedent for all other actors to follow.
