Dil Se Thank You: While the country remained under lockdown, people in essential services like police, medical industry, were still out. The actor, in order to thank the frontline workers, came up with hashtag ‘Dil Se Thank You’ in order to express gratitude towards them. Sharing an image on Instagram in which he is holding a paper that reads ‘#DilSeThankYou’, he wrote, “Name : Akshay Kumar, City : Mumbai, Mere aur mere parivaar ki taraf se…Police, Nagar Nigam ke workers, doctors, nurses, NGOs, volunteers, government officials, vendors, building ke guards ko”

Appeal for street vendors: The pandemic has been a difficult time for everyone. People across the world have been suffering. However, the worst hit people are the street vendors and daily wagers. In order to reduce the plight of the street vendors, Akshay appealed people that they at least buy some goods from one street vendor in a day so that they too can make their ends meet.

Absolutely @SriSri ji, we all are in this together. All we need to do is do our bit and together we can make a huge difference. https://t.co/yfbWlHsZL2
