New Delhi: Engineer's Day holds special significance for those who appreciate the brilliance and dedication of engineers who work tirelessly to shape our world. This Engineer's Day, Akshay Kumar, known for portraying unsung heroes on screen, took a moment to pay tribute to both a real-life saviour and his on-screen character, Jaswant Gill, from his upcoming rescue thriller 'Mission Raniganj.'
In his trademark humorous style, Akshay shared an image of the late Mr Jaswant Gill, who inspired his character in the film. The image captured a young Jaswant Gill in 1961, standing proudly outside his ISM college, where he pursued Mining Engineering.
In the caption, Akshay wrote: “Happy #Engineers Day. I could never even imagine myself studying hard to be an engineer. But then I got an opportunity to play a brave, intelligent engineer like Jaswant Singh Gill ji in #MissionRaniganj. माँ बाप की इच्छा पूरी हो गई (parents' wish fulfilled) #RealHero”
