Just as Akshay was about to depart, a young woman hurried after him, clutching a piece of paper and fighting back tears. Her voice trembled as she made a heartfelt appeal:

“Papa bahut bade karze mein hai, unko please bahar nikalo.”

Instead of brushing past the situation, Akshay paused. He listened. And then, without any grand gestures or showmanship, he asked one of his team members to collect the woman’s phone number, a quiet but powerful sign of support.

The fan, overwhelmed with emotion, bent down in gratitude to touch his feet. Akshay immediately stopped her with gentle words, “beta aisa mat kar."
