Superstar Akshay Kumar earlier this evening posted a video message on social media for all those who were demanding proof of surgical strikes carried by Indian army. Akshay said that the current situation of country where people are arguing with their own is heartbreaking.
Right at the start of the video, Akshay said that he was not posting the video as an actor, but as the son of an army officer. Slamming all those who have lately been demanding that the Indian army should release the footage of surgical strikes, Akshay said do it later.
The Khiladi Kumar of Bollywood urged those who indulge in heated debates on television to do it later, and instead think about those who have sacrificed their lives for the nation. He said that the horrific Uri attacks have already killed 19 soldiers and a 24-year old Nitin Yadav laid his life whilst protecting the border in Baramullah.
Hitting hard with words to those who have been opposing the ban on Pakistan actors, Akshay said that a movie’s release is not the concern of these families. He said all they care is about the safety of the nation and we should be respectful towards them.

While Bollywood stands divided on whether the artist ban is correct or not, Akshay has made it clear that all he cares about is the soldiers at the borders.
