Several Bollywood actors followed Akshay Kumar’s call to acknowledge the contribution of all essential workers during the lockdown period with the hashtag ‘#DilSe Thank you’. Actors Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal and many others followed suit as they put out their gratitude on their social media handles.
In a video message shared on Twitter, Akshay recalled a conversation he had with a Mumbai police officer yesterday, who is also a good friend of the actor, and said that the conservation gave him a new insight into the situation. “Akshay, you people are scared to come out of your homes, and the irony is we are afraid to go home. We do not want to transfer any sort of disease to our family as we are on the streets the whole day, meeting different kinds of people,” he quoted his friend in the police as saying.
