Akshay Kumar on donating for Assam floods: I give away without thinking twice; Kahaan leke jaane hai paise

Mother nature sometimes shows her other side which creates such havoc that the result is devastating. The recent floods in Assam claimed more than 90 lives and the entire state is reeling under the after-effects of the flood. Several eminent personalities took to their social media accounts and urged people to donate for the state.

Akshay Kumar, who never refrains from lending a helping hand in such causes, also came forward and donated a whopping sum of 2 crores for the rescue work in the Kaziranga National Park.

Opening up about how India as a nation is a large-hearted, Akshay told Hindustan Times, “I felt really good when I got a call from the Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, who told me that, ‘aapke donation ke baad, bahut saare aur bhi logon ne donation diya.’ That made me happy. I really feel that our nation is an amazing one. If there’s ever any problem, you just have to start something and then there’s a ripple effect. India is a large-hearted nation. We just need a little push.”

The actor went on to add, “We should all come together during such times – regardless of whether you can donate Rs 2 or 5 lakhs. That’s how a country is made. And humanity is all about that. I admit that God has given me a lot of money, so I give away without thinking twice. Kahaan leke jaane hai paise.”
