Akshay Kumar spent time bonding with members of the Indian Army ahead of flagging off a marathon on Army Day. The actor took to Twitter to share a short video of him playing volleyball with men from the Indian Army. "Had the pleasure of meeting some of our bravehearts today to flag off a marathon on the occasion of #ArmyDay and what better way to warm up than a quick game of volleyball," he tweeted.
