Akshay Kumar's 'Soch aur Shauch' video is an eye-opener - Must WATCH

New Delhi: Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has time and again stepped forward to highlight social issues. Be it on-screen performances or off-screen initiatives, the 49-year-old star misses no opportunity to inspire people. This time, Akki has taken up the issue of Swacch India and the importance of toilets at homes.

The 'Airlift' hunk on Friday posted a heartfelt message on Facebook in the form of a candid video. In the short clip, he can be seen giving India a harsh but true reality check. 

Akshay felt really sad when he came across some bitter facts while doing the research for his upcoming film 'Toilet - Ek Prem Katha'. And, as a result, he made a social media appearance once again to lay emphasis on building toilets, especially for women.

Watch for yourself:

'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha', a love story with a satirical flavour, is directed by Shree Narayan Singh and is set to release on June 2, 2017. It is based on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.

The film also stars Anupam Kher and Divyendu Sharma in prominent roles.
