Angry with the ‘surgical strikes’ taking a political turn, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has put out a message to fellow countrymen, asking them to think about the army and those 19 soldiers who laid down their lives for the country.
“Something which has been on my mind since the past few days and I just had to say it. Not intending to offend anyone… so here goes” the actor said, posting a video of the his message
“I am not speaking to you as a celebrity today. I am speaking to you as the son of an army man. For the past few days, I have been seeing and reading that people are arguing and some are asking for proof about surgical strikes, some are demanding ban on artistes, while some fear that there might be a war”
“Arey sharam karo (have some shame). These debates can happen later. First one must realise that people have already laid down their lives at the border. Nineteen jawans died during the attack and a 24-year-old jawan Nitin Yadav died in Baramulla”
“Are their families, or the families of our thousands of jawans, worried whether a film will release or not? Whether an artiste will be banned? No. They are worried about their future.”
“And our concern should be to ensure that their present and future is better. I am, because they are. You are, because they are and if they are not there, then India won’t exist. Jai Hind.”

jolly because of you they bash Akki. now are you targeting Salman or Ajay fans. what does supporting kjo mean? Mind you He and Ajay still share a respectable relationship so he will not be foolish to openly say what you thinking because other will start reading wrong meaning don’t cause unnecessary trolling here we know you badly want Adhm to trash Shivaay we all know but please not on this type of articles because I too Akki is my all time 2nd favourite after shah rukh sir but I can not start saying these type of anti promotion accusation
@Rajesh : You just the spoiled the message given by Akshay Kumar with your comment.
Well said !!! There are so many fake patriots who are claiming to support those martyrs and simply spreading hatred in name of supporting them. They dont even think for a second what their families are going through and how can we reach out to them to provide any help. It is a tight slap on andh bhakts and also who are taking advantage of situation to blame Modi and his Government. At this situation, we should stand united instead of questioning each other, truth will come out one day no matter who has done what.
Hats off akshay kumar…flopy and others are mean minded
What Canandian Canadian haa?
His dad was an indian army man.
He has paid billions in tax to indian government.
He runs a martial arts academy which has trained more than 5000 girls and counting in self defence.
He runs a cancer hospital of 80+ beds.
Has adopted several villages in Maharashtra and Bihar etc.
He has sent hundreds of martial artists for foreign training through his tournament.
Donated crores of rupees to various drought prone farmer families and helped many army families as well.
Is been educating many children of such under previledged backgrounds.
Have you or whichever star u like done even a bit of this for our country? You havent.
Keyboard warriors like you should die.
Sirf army walon ne jaan dene ka theka nahi liya hai.
How is this different from what salman khan said?
@RAJ He can Support kjo openly Also because they are good friends now coz It’s completely Wrong to ban A movie Just because of a Pakistani actor. It’s the loss of Indian film industry only .
And Supporting Kjo doesn’t mean Against Ajay..
You can see the 2 students of Karan johar’s Supporting akshays video..Varun & Sidharth…!
Akshay Kumar the megastar for d reason..
A true responsible superstar.
words and action are not the same. anyone talk anything but action is not.
words and action are not the same. anyone talk anything but action is not…
Fan for a reason…#legend ??
Again propaganda by akshay to show he is patriotic, come on Akshay your patriotic movies are same like your drama… why don’t you go on border and fight against Pakistan, we know you cannot so stop making dramas and pray for victims who died in terrorist attack
100% agree!!
# Respect # Army man’s family
shambuji
I know you are a akki hater …..
but Doing drama to unite a nation is good than saying bad thing about army mens , questioning on the characters of our jawan whether they did surgical strike or just faking it . and using this things by 2 rs politician to gain vote bank ….. and some celebs fighting with each other on lame things like movie ban ,artist ban……
He did his bit by helping shaheed of uri attack financially ..
he did what he can do ….what about you and your fav actor .
@akki -srk-rk
I am not hater of anyone but trying to talk fact. If I have wealth like Akshay had, yes for sure I will help financially to victims family, probably more than what Akshay did. I don’t do drama and publish it on website and media if what I did for victims.
What did you do apart of supporting your actor flop Kumar?
Akki is best.
@Shambuji this man is very greedy bro. And his fans are illiterate dumbass. The guy who doesnt have the respect for the citizenship of his own country and goes to another country like canada and gains that citizenship should be ashamed of himself. And then does so called patriotic movvies just to get hits. Wothout patriotic movies he is flop star. We all know that. And he does 4 movies a year just for money. He is greedy actor whose only aim is to make money and fool people in the name of patriotism. Shame.
Salman bhai ne bhi sahi hi kaha tha…. Peace…. par kisi ne is baat pe gaur hi nahi kiya…. sablog to bas don’t ban on pak artist ko hi lekar baith gaye…. chutiyas… aur akki bhai idhar ach ha baat bol rahe hai aur udhar kuchh bhakts (his fans) blind bane hain…
