Mumbai: Akshay Kumar is one of the most socially aware actors. He was among the first to come forward to declare that he will be donating Rs 5 crore to the families of Pulwama martyrs.

In the midst of this, the actor made time to attend another charity event. Akshay was present at a samuh vivaah (mass wedding) of lesser-privileged persons along with chief minister Devendra Fadnavis. Around 100 couples tied the knot under the same roof. He is said to have given each bride a gift of Rs1 lakh. The money was deposited into their individual accounts. It was the actor’s way of ensuring that these newly-married couples have something substantial to begin their lives with.

On the work front, Akshay will next be seen in Kesari which is slated to release on 21st March, 2019.
