"Akshay himself has been in touch with me and he keeps enquiring about incidents and when I told him about the Sukma incident he immediately told me he would like to contribute and do his bit for the families of the martyred jawans, we are all grateful to him for this kind gesture."
We are really proud of you, Akki. You're a superstar in every sense of the word. And now we know why not all superheroes wear capes.
