The video came to light after lyricist and scriptwriter Puneet Sharma shared the clip. In the video, Kumar talks about people wasting food and money on temples when so many people are dying of hunger.
Kumar, who essayed the role of Lord Krishna in the film OMG: Oh My God!, spoke about the need to help the poor and needy instead of donating in temples.

"Why are we wasting so much milk and oil on God? Where is it written that God wants milk, oil and coconuts? At the same time, we say farmers are dying because of hunger. I go to temples and see so much of waste lying around. I believe that the best way to get God's attention is to do good and help other people", he says.
Scam 1992 fame Hansal Mehta also reshared the video.

Going to vaishnodevi- waste of money
Pouring milk on shivling- waste of milk
Watching his filthy movies- waste of time, money and worth.@akshaykumar https://t.co/e24lyqo5or
The nationwide drive to collect donations kicked off on Friday.
After donating for the same, Kumar took to Twitter to write, "It is a matter of great pleasure that the construction of our grand temple of Shri Ram has begun in Ayodhya¡ Now it is our turn to contribute. I have started, hope you will join too. Jai Siyaram."

In the video, the 53-year-old actor said people should contribute what they feel comfortable with and take part in building the "historic , grand temple."
"I have started, now I am sure you will join me too. So that the coming generations keep getting inspired to follow the life, path and message of lord Ram," he added.
On Diwali of 2020, Kumar announced his film, Ram Setu. The film, directed by Abhishek Sharma, aims to chronicle the story of the Ram Setu bridge. In December last year, Kumar also met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath during his visit to Mumbai and discussed Ram Setu.
