Akshay Kumar on Tuesday took to Twitter to defend his video on the Bengaluru mass molestations and while he was at it, Bollywood’s favourite action hero also spoke on another topic quite close to his heart.
Just days before the Republic Day, the actor urged his fans to do their bit to financially help the families of martyrd jawans. In his heartfelt message, Akshay floated the idea of setting up a website or an app that can get the families of such jawans and people willing to help them financially on a single platform.

Akshay expressed hope of the armed forces and the government helping him with setting up this portal in which the names of martyrs along with their bank account numbers will be listed. He said:
Whoever wants to help the family of a martyrd jawan financially, will be able to directly donate into their accounts. The particular account number will be deleted once the total deposited money accounts to Rs 15 lakh.
Akshay further asked his fans for inputs to help him fine tune the idea and added that if he finds sufficient support from people, he will go ahead and start this portal.
