Just before the release of his upcoming film ‘Khel Khel Mein’, Akshay Kumar made a notable visit to Mumbai’s Haji Ali Dargah. Demonstrating his commitment to the community, the actor contributed Rs 1.21 crore towards the Dargah’s renovation efforts. This generous act was highlighted in a video posted on the Dargah’s Instagram account. The Haji Ali Trust expressed their gratitude in a statement: “With the Haji Ali Dargah’s renovation underway, Padmashri Akshay Kumar, a true Mumbaikar, was the quickest to respond with great warmth and devotion. On Thursday, he generously took responsibility for a section of the renovation expenses, amounting to Rs 1,21,00,000. We offer our prayers for the departed souls of his parents, late Aruna Bhatia and late Hari Om Bhatia, and express our deepest gratitude to him.” Photos of Akshay seeking blessings at the Dargah have gone viral. ‘Khel Khel Mein’ releases on India’s Independence Day, August 15, following the lackluster performance of his recent movies, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ and ‘Sarfira’.
