Action superstar Akshay Kumar is known for a slight inclination towards defence personnel. However, it was his recent-most gesture that touched 103 families of our brave jawaans. The actor presented families of slain soldiers from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, with a cheque of Rs 25,000, along with a box of sweets. The gifts were sent along with a personally signed letter for each family.
In the heartfelt letter, he talked about the sacrifice made by the martyrs of India. He wrote, “We all are proud of your family member for his Sacrifice to the nation. I know you are missing your loved ones on this Diwali Festival. But I request you to start the new year with courage. Sending a small gift of sweets and books for children. Please accept with love.” This isn't the first time the actor has shown his philanthropic side. He had donated Rs 5 Lakh to each family of those martyred in the Uri terror attacks.
