Akshay Kumar is fast turning out to be the poster boy of Bollywood’s equivalent of corporate social responsibility. After generously donating to the families of army jawans, airing his views on sexual harassment of women, promoting ayurveda - the actor has now posted a video talking about the issue of lack of toilets in India and questioned our culture of not paying heed or giving priority to the importance of hygiene.
