Akshay Kumar

There is more to Akshay Kumar than his body building. Ask his producers. They are full of praise for his professionalism. For his integrity. His directors can’t stop talking about how hard he works over his scenes. His sense of commitment.

Ask Shabana Azmi, United Nation Ambassador on population. Recently when the Population Council and Alliance for Reproductive Health and Development wanted to do a public service advertisement for the World Population Day, their choice zeroed in on a young and happily married actor who would be the perfect role model to endorse the social message.

Akshay Kumar when contacted not only immediately agreed to co-operate for a social cause, but wholeheartedly supported the message of the public service ad that women be included in the decision of how many kids a couple must plan and when. His conviction comes through in the ad when he lovingly looks at his wife Tina’s picture while mouthing his message. The population Council and Reproduction Health Development are truly impressed with the young actor. Here is a star who charges exhorbitant fees for the brands he promotes, but willingly extended himself for a worthy cause. Contrary to the general impression, film stars are usually socially responsible and willing to extend their support provided they are correctly guided. Akshay has made a noble beginning and there must be others doing what’s within their capability as well.
